Setting the Table: The Art of Still Life
<p>Still life emerged as a genre of painting in the early 17th century in Europe. Including all kinds of man-made or natural objects, cut flowers, fruit, vegetables, fish, game, etc., still life paintings are highly symbolic and reflect the values of the society and artist that creates it. </p><p>This exhibition draws upon the CRMA's extensive collection of still life to present an examination of how different artists create within the historical confines of the genre. Do they push the boundaries? Do they experiment with style or subject matter? Do they reference past works? From snuffed candles, skulls and hourglasses, reminding the viewer of his or her own mortality, to lilies and glass vases alluding to the Virgin Mary's purity to lush flowers and fruits suggesting nature's annual cycles, still lifes can encapsulate whole worlds of meaning in seemingly unassuming compositions.</p><p>Image caption: </p><p>Fred Easker, <em>Milk Cans and Pears</em>, 1987, Prismacolor pencils on paper, 21 x 34 inches, gift of Kim and Sandy Colberg, 2017.120.</p><p><em><span style="font-size: 12px;">This exhibition and accompanying educational programming has been made possible by Rockwell Collins and by the CRST International Donor-Advised Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation.

Art Lovers Book Club:Dreaming with His Eyes Open: A Life of Diego Rivera
<p><em>Dreaming with His Eyes Open: A Life of Diego Rivera<span> </span></em>by Patrick Marnham</p><p>This fascinating biography of Diego Rivera, the brilliant Mexican artist<span> </span>and<span> </span>revolutionary (and twice-married husband of Frida Kahlo), captures the explosively passionate nature that made Rivera one of this century's most gifted and controversial painters. Drawing on his extensive travels and research, Patrick Marnham explores a character who was, in every sense, larger than life. We are introduced to rural Mexico, Spain, and Italy where he first encounters the work of the great fresco painters that will change his life and art forever. Throughout we are witness to Rivera's immense passions; his countless lovers, his stormy relationship with Frida Kahlo, his political bravado, his massive strength, and maniacal work ethic which fueled his highest artistic achievements and made for an extraordinarily complex life. Marnham conveys to us the impact of this galvanic force that was Rivera's creative drive and<span> </span>personality,<span> </span>and shows why he was perhaps the greatest muralist since the Renaissance.</p><p><strong>Hosts for this Event:<span> </span></strong></p><p>The Cedar Rapids Museum of Art</p><p>All are welcome to this free event!</p><p><br></p>

Grant Wood: From Farm Boy to American Icon
<p><em>Grant Wood: From Farm Boy to American Icon</em> offers an expansive look at Wood’s life and career though his art. Housed in one of our largest first-floor galleries, this new installation reflects the depth of the CRMA’s Grant Wood collection as well as the great breadth of Woods’ career, cut tragically short by his death in 1942.</p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Image: Grant Wood, <em>Overmantle Decoration</em>, 1930.
