Mauricio Lasansky: Master Printmaker

<p>The Museum is fortunate to be able to dedicate four galleries to the work of consummate printmaker, Mauricio Lasansky. Making prints for more than 65 years--first in his native Argentina, then in New York City, and for more than 55 years in Iowa City, Iowa--Lasansky's generous gift of prints in the 1980s and 1990s made it possible for the Museum to present a wide range of the artist's works, changing all four galleries every six months. Best known for large-scale prints in which he uses multiple plates and full ranges of color, Lasansky combines a spectrum of graphic techniques including etching, drypoint, aquatint, and engraving. Throughout his stylistic evolution, he created eloquent figural statements that are colorful, fresh, and spontaneous. </p> 2021-12-08 16:00:00 -0600

Abstract Ideas: Abstract Art from the Collection

<p>Culled from CRMA’s collection of works created after 1950, Abstract Ideas explores the potential of abstraction in the hands of post-World War II artists. In some cases, the subject matter has been only slightly abstracted, diverging only a little from the way they appear in nature. In other cases, artists have moved completely away from any recognizable object in pursuit of more emotional or intellectual goals. In all cases, however, artists maintained their relationship to and dialogue with the fundamental properties of art such as balance, form, line, color, and rhythm. Investigating the various degrees of abstraction found in modern paintings and sculpture, this exhibition presents a diverse group of works, each of which operates on different emotional and intellectual levels. </p> 2021-12-08 16:00:00 -0600

Dick Pinney: Jack of All Trades

<p>Dick Pinney (1924-1996) was a long-time favorite in the Cedar Rapids art scene.  Accomplished in many media, this former creative director for Stamats Communications and Coe College vice president was perhaps most famous for the numerous carved wood assemblages that he created, usually as commissions for area business leaders.  Paintings, drawings, ceramics, assemblages, constructions, games, and puppets were all part of Pinney’s repertoire.  This exhibition, timed to coincide with the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Pinney’s passing in 1996, celebrates the artist’s diverse and wide-reaching artwork. </p> 2021-12-08 16:00:00 -0600

<p>From medieval coronation banquets with elaborate sugar sculptures known as subtleties to the technicolor party food of the 1960s, food as art has long been tied to the enjoyable and meaningful experience of dining. </p><p>Curated by Eric Ensley and Diane Ray, this exhibit in the University of Iowa Libraries Special Collections & Archives Reading Room draws primarily from materials in the Szathmary Culinary Collection. It shows that books about food have often attempted to navigate the personal, familial, and domestic spaces of dining while displaying a public-facing image of those experiences. The exhibit explores representation of gender roles as well as the political, artistic, and communal impact of food.</p><p>Visitors will find culinary books and other materials from across the centuries on display in the <strong>Special Collections & Archives Reading Room, 3rd floor, Main Library. </strong></p><p><strong>For parking information:</strong> https://www.lib.uiowa.edu/locations/main/parking/</p><p><strong>Reading Room hours:</strong> <br>Monday - Friday, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM<br>Tuesdays open later until 6:00 PM.</p> 2021-12-09 16:00:00 -0600

Abstract Ideas: Abstract Art from the Collection

<p>Culled from CRMA’s collection of works created after 1950, Abstract Ideas explores the potential of abstraction in the hands of post-World War II artists. In some cases, the subject matter has been only slightly abstracted, diverging only a little from the way they appear in nature. In other cases, artists have moved completely away from any recognizable object in pursuit of more emotional or intellectual goals. In all cases, however, artists maintained their relationship to and dialogue with the fundamental properties of art such as balance, form, line, color, and rhythm. Investigating the various degrees of abstraction found in modern paintings and sculpture, this exhibition presents a diverse group of works, each of which operates on different emotional and intellectual levels. </p> 2021-12-09 20:00:00 -0600

Dick Pinney: Jack of All Trades

<p>Dick Pinney (1924-1996) was a long-time favorite in the Cedar Rapids art scene.  Accomplished in many media, this former creative director for Stamats Communications and Coe College vice president was perhaps most famous for the numerous carved wood assemblages that he created, usually as commissions for area business leaders.  Paintings, drawings, ceramics, assemblages, constructions, games, and puppets were all part of Pinney’s repertoire.  This exhibition, timed to coincide with the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Pinney’s passing in 1996, celebrates the artist’s diverse and wide-reaching artwork. </p> 2021-12-09 20:00:00 -0600
