The Art of Nature & Nature of Art at Prairiewoods: Poetry
<p>Join Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) every other month as we reflect in nature and express our mindful exploration through art. The October session will feature Prairiewoods’ artist-in-residence, poet Carol Tyx, as we celebrate fall’s emergence. We will explore the woodland, prairie, wetlands and gardens, and engage with a deeper understanding of the ecology that encompasses our environment. Upon the conclusion of our walk, Carol will help us to reflect on what we observed and manifest it in the form of poetry. A free-will offering will be accepted. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-06-20 12:00:00 -0500

dreamscape: Surrealism from the Collection
<p>dreamscape: Surrealism from the Collection<br><br>September 10, 2022-December 31, 2022</p><p>price 0-$10<br><br>This exhibition takes a look at both classic Surrealism (Dali, deChirico, Escher) of the 1930s and 1940s and more modern and contemporary artists who adhere to surrealistic principles (Cocke, Lanyon). While there have been several Surrealism exhibitions over the years, little attention has been given to artists working since the 1940s whose work continues to demonstrate Surrealism’s influence. This exhibition, drawn from the CRMA’s collection, will start the conversation on this phenomenon in a new and engaging way.</p> 2022-10-08 16:00:00 -0500

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> 2022-10-08 16:00:00 -0500

Art Lovers Book Club: The House of Fragile Things: Jewish Art Collectors and the Fall of France by James McAuley
<p>In the dramatic years between 1870 and the end of World War II, a number of prominent French Jews—pillars of an embattled community—invested their fortunes in France’s cultural artifacts, sacrificed their sons to the country’s army, and were ultimately rewarded by seeing their collections plundered and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps.<br><br>In this rich, evocative account, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the assimilation and identity of French Jews in the<em> fin-de-siècle</em>. Weaving together narratives of various figures, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust and the diaries of Jules and Edmond Goncourt—the Camondos, the Rothschilds, the Ephrussis, the Cahens d'Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: they were often accused of “invading” France’s cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were their response, tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them.</p> 2022-03-17 17:00:00 -0500

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> 2022-10-07 16:00:00 -0500

<p>The Collector's Eye: The Collection of Thomas C. Jackson and Joanne Stevens<br><br>October 1, 2022-January 15, 2023<br>Price 0-$10<br><br>Local collectors Tom Jackson and Joanne Stevens have been slowly amassing a remarkable collection of prints by significant modern and contemporary artists, including John Baldessari, Enrique Chagoya, Sam Francis, Claes Oldenburg, Wayne Thiebaud, and Kara Walker. In total, the collection represents some of the more significant American artists of the past 70 years. At the same time, it also looks at a number of political issues that these artists explored. The collection, rather unique in Cedar Rapids, is all the more poignant because it was built together by this husband-and-wife team, one of which is a fulltime practicing artist himself.</p> 2022-10-07 16:00:00 -0500
