Stanley Reads Book Club
<p><strong>Stanley Reads</strong> puts the museum’s recent exhibitions in conversation with literature. This fall we will consider <a href="[sitetree_link,id=1527]" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>Follow Her Lead</em></a> in relation to <em>Homegoing </em>by Yaa Gyasi. Both the exhibition and novel focus on women and motherhood across time and geography. During each meeting of the book club, we will pair artwork from the exhibition with chapters from the book to connect deeply with the themes and expand our understanding of the objects and the story. </p><p><strong>Stanley Reads</strong> is led by<strong> </strong>Kimberly Datchuk, curator of learning & engagement and is presented in partnership with Prairie Lights Books.</p><p><strong><em>Homegoing </em></strong>begins in Ghana in the eighteenth century. It follows the lives of two half-sisters and eight generations of their descendants, those who endured enslavement in America and those who remained in Africa. The powerful story shows the deep and lasting effects of slavery. </p><p>Yaa Gyasi was born in Ghana and raised in Huntsville, Alabama. She earned an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. <em>Homegoing</em> won the PEN/Hemingway Award and the NBCC’s John Leonard Award. It is Gyasi’s first novel. </p><p><strong>Register for Stanley Reads: </strong><a href="https://uiowa.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3VR83aPIweoUmHz">https://uiowa.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3VR83aPIweoUmHz</a></p><p>Once registered, you will receive invitations to all Stanley Reads events.</p><p>Registration will cut off at noon the Friday preceding each event.

Seriously Funny: American Gothic Parodies
<p>Grant Wood’s <em>American Gothic</em> is probably the world’s most parodied American painting, second only to Leonardo’s <em>Mona Lisa</em>. The fact that thousands of parodies of <em>American Gothic</em> exist, dating back several decades, speaks to the enduring inspiration of one of America’s greatest works of art. This exhibition—a first for the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art—will look at many of these parodies—some in the flesh on the gallery’s walls and many others digitally projected in an attempt to share the incredible reach of this iconic painting. From Bill and Hillary Clinton to Leonardo and Mona Lisa to RuPaul as male and female, these parodies speak to how this one painting serves as the basis for looking at various contemporary people and issues. Wood’s impactful 1930 painting continues to inspire “artists” of all ages and skills in a playful and humorous way that Wood would no doubt have applauded.</p> 2020-09-24 20:00:00 -0500

Grant Wood Revealed: Rarely Seen Works by an American Master
<p>Rounding out our anniversary year will be an unusual look at arguably Iowa’s most important artist, Grant Wood. While known for his iconic <em>American Gothic</em> (Art Institute of Chicago) and other Regionalist works from his mature style, Grant Wood was constantly exploring styles, techniques, and media. This exhibition will bring together works from both the CRMA collection as well as from private collections to celebrate Wood’s inquisitive mind. Rarely seen paintings will be joined with diverse metalwork pieces, drawings, and studies to construct a fuller view of Wood’s genius.</p> 2020-10-11 16:00:00 -0500
