“Degas in New Orleans,” by Dorothy Johnson, Roy J. Carver Professor of Art History, University of Iowa
<p>Edgar Degas is famed for his paintings of young ballet dancers and horse races, but a lesser known aspect of his work is the time he spent in New Orleans. Degas travelled to the city in 1872 to see the American side of his mother’s family, who worked as cotton and textile merchants. The painter saw this six-month stay as a return to his roots and produced eighteen paintings during his time there. Join Dorothy Johnson, Roy J. Carver Professor of Art History at the University of Iowa to discuss this unfamiliar aspect of Degas’ career.</p> 2019-12-30 14:00:00 -0600

The Pull of Horses on National and Local Histories and Identities
<p>Along with our ancestors, horses helped build Iowa City, the state, and the nation. In the process, they profoundly shaped human identities. This exhibition explores the physical and social impact of these huge, powerful animals by screening the original documentary film <em>The Pull of Horses in Urban American Performance, 1860-1920</em> at life-sized scale amid displays of local equine history. The exhibition contains glimpses of Iowa City town and campus life, as well as national equestrian culture – especially as multitudes of women took up the sport of riding and advocated for suffrage. Original and reproduction publications, photographs, artifacts, and ephemera from Special Collections at the University of Iowa Libraries, the State Historical Society of Iowa, and from private collections will share a sampling of stories about life alongside horses from Iowa City’s, and the nation’s, past. Curated by Kim Marra, PhD of the University of Iowa Departments of Theatre Arts and American Studies, and Mark Anderson of the Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio at the University of Iowa Libraries.</p><p>Object guides describing the details of each item on display are available for visitors in the Main Library Gallery.</p><p><strong>Main Library Gallery Hours: </strong><br>Monday, Wednesday - Friday: 9:00am - 6:00pm<br>Tuesday: 9:00am - 8:00pm<br>Saturday- Sunday: 1:00pm - 5:00pm<br>Please visit <a href="http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/">http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/</a> for hours and holiday info.</p><p><em>Many thanks to our exhibit and event sponsors for their support: Friends of the University of Iowa Libraries, Arts and Humanities Initiative, the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, the University of Iowa Theatre Arts Department, and the University of Iowa Department of American Studies.</em></p>

The Pull of Horses on National and Local Histories and Identities
<p>Along with our ancestors, horses helped build Iowa City, the state, and the nation. In the process, they profoundly shaped human identities. This exhibition explores the physical and social impact of these huge, powerful animals by screening the original documentary film <em>The Pull of Horses in Urban American Performance, 1860-1920</em> at life-sized scale amid displays of local equine history. The exhibition contains glimpses of Iowa City town and campus life, as well as national equestrian culture – especially as multitudes of women took up the sport of riding and advocated for suffrage. Original and reproduction publications, photographs, artifacts, and ephemera from Special Collections at the University of Iowa Libraries, the State Historical Society of Iowa, and from private collections will share a sampling of stories about life alongside horses from Iowa City’s, and the nation’s, past. Curated by Kim Marra, PhD of the University of Iowa Departments of Theatre Arts and American Studies, and Mark Anderson of the Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio at the University of Iowa Libraries.</p><p>Object guides describing the details of each item on display are available for visitors in the Main Library Gallery.</p><p><strong>Main Library Gallery Hours: </strong><br>Monday, Wednesday - Friday: 9:00am - 6:00pm<br>Tuesday: 9:00am - 8:00pm<br>Saturday- Sunday: 1:00pm - 5:00pm<br>Please visit <a href="http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/">http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/</a> for hours and holiday info.</p><p><em>Many thanks to our exhibit and event sponsors for their support: Friends of the University of Iowa Libraries, Arts and Humanities Initiative, the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, the University of Iowa Theatre Arts Department, and the University of Iowa Department of American Studies.</em></p>
