Pippi Longstocking
<p>On the outskirts of town stands a ramshackle house... there’s a horse on the porch, a monkey in the kitchen and a freckle faced, red-pigtailed, whirlwind of a girl in mismatched stockings presiding over all! This is the domain of Pippi Longstocking!</p><p>Pippi is outrageously unsupervised and proud of it. She has what she needs to get by, and if she doesn’t she’ll make something up that will do the trick. Her father is a pirate captain off sailing the seas. Her mother is an angel watching over her from heaven. And neither Mrs. Prysselius, head of the Child Welfare Board, nor Thunder and Bloom, a couple of ne’erdo- wells who try to abscond with the gold in her pirate treasure chest can get the best of her. Neither can the policemen who try to make her go to school, or the school teacher she meets once she goes. (She decides to give school a try once she learns from her neighbors and new very-best friends, Tommy and Annika, that if you go to school, you get a summer vacation.) In fact, the adults who come in contact with her often are the ones who learn from the encounter. She teaches the burglars in her house a lesson in manners when they use the word, “damn,” (language no well behaved person should use), and she conducts a real-world mathematics lesson at school until even the teacher enjoys the romp.</p><p>But it’s not that she’s unteachable. Pippi swallows her fears of not knowing any of the rules of etiquette and goes to a fancy party. She cares so much more than she’s willing to admit, and she learns a hard lesson that even fun can go too far, and sometimes what starts out as play can end up just plain disrespectful. She simply doesn’t fit, and it’s hard to imagine Pippi fitting in anywhere – unless you meet her, and then you can’t imagine life without her.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Sponsored by our friends at Puddle Jumpers & Rain</strong></p><p><strong>with season sponsor Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust and media sponsor KDAT</strong></p> 2018-03-22 20:30:00 -0500

Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor's Journey August 26, 2017 - August 31, 2018
<p><strong>Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor’s Journey</strong></p><p>August 26, 2017 – August, 2018 </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style='font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;'>Drawing from the CRMA’s deep collection of works by 20<sup>th</sup> century sculptor Malvina Hoffman, this two-gallery exhibition explores her lengthy and varied career as a sculptor of the human form. Hoffman studied with several artists in New York before traveling to Paris in 1910 where she successfully convinced Auguste Rodin to accept her as a student. </span><span lang="EN" style='font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN;'>During their lessons, he advised her "Do not be afraid of realism.”<sup> </sup></span><span style='font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;'> It was from Rodin that Hoffman learned a naturalistic, sometimes rugged approach to the form. From her early bust of her father Richard to her famous commission from the Field Museum to create their “Hall of Man,” <em>Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor’s Journey</em> traces Hoffman’s artistic roots from her teenage creations through apprenticeship with Rodin and into her arrival as an independent and gifted artist.</span></p><p><br></p>

Edward Hopper: Selections from the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York
<p>Edward Hopper: Selections from the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York</p><p>February 3 – May 20, 2018</p><p>This exhibition of thirteen seminal works, all drawn from the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, traces the early trajectory of Edward Hopper’s career in works from 1906 to 1933.</p><p>Edward Hopper (1882-1967) was a prominent American realist painter and printmaker. Best known for capturing what he saw as the solitude and isolation of modern American life, Hopper’s works include austere interiors, moody cityscapes, and starkly beautiful rural landscapes. His art injects the psychological lives of his figures into what otherwise may appear to be straightforward depictions of everyday life. Solitary figures contemplate their existence in these various locales, all highlighted with Hopper’s extraordinarily sensitive use of light.</p><p><br></p><p>Image Caption:</p><p>Edward Hopper, <em>Cobb's Barns and Distant Houses</em>, 1930-1933, oil on canvas, 29 1/8 x 43 1/8 in.
