Blakelock: By the Light of the Moon Art Exhibit

<p>Forgeries, mental illness, intrigue, and rapid fame—the dramatic circumstances of Ralph Albert Blakelock’s life often overshadow the merits of his work. <em>By the Light of the Moon</em> will feature eight exceptional artworks by Blakelock from the museum collection. Born in 1847, his early paintings were highly detailed landscapes inspired by Hudson River School painters. After traveling to the American West and becoming familiar with Barbizon painters, Blakelock developed the atmospheric landscapes for which he is known. Drenched in darkness and silvery moonlight, his thickly painted landscapes have a distinctive otherworldly quality. This exhibition will explore Blakelock’s body of work and how his interest in spiritualism is reflected in his artistic practice.</p> 2021-03-13 17:00:00 -0600

Seriously Funny: American Gothic Parodies

<p>Grant Wood’s American Gothic is probably the world’s most parodied American painting, second only to Leonardo’s Mona Lisa. The fact that thousands of parodies of American Gothic 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> 2021-03-14 16:00:00 -0500

Americans in Paris: Grant Wood and Marvin Cone's 1920 Trip to Paris

<p>For three months in the summer of 1920, Grant Wood and his best friend Marvin Cone traveled to Paris to see great art, soak up the sights, and paint.  This brief sojourn proved to be pivotal for both artists, enhancing their nascent interest in Impressionism and painting en plein air.  While each artist discontinued painting in this style beyond the early 1930s, this trip to Paris (Wood’s first trip abroad, Cone’s second) was critical to their development.  What the artists did, saw, and painted is carefully outlined in Cone’s meticulous and well-written diary of the trip, including where the artists painted on which days.  As such, this diary enables the ability to date certain works to the precise date of creation.  It also allows viewers to see how each artist depicted the same scene, often in very different terms.</p> 2021-03-14 16:00:00 -0500

Grant Wood Revealed: Rarely Seen Works by an American Master

<p>Launching the CRMA's year-long celebration of the 175th anniversary of Iowa's statehood will be an unusual look at Iowa’s most famous artist, Grant Wood. While known for his iconic American Gothic (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 by diverse metalwork pieces, drawings, and studies to construct a fuller view of Wood’s genius.</p> 2021-03-14 16:00:00 -0500

Early Stage Dementia Support Group

<p>Early Stage Support Groups benefit persons living with dementia by providing a platform to build a network of others sharing a similar experience; offer ways to solve common problems; talk through challenges and suggest ways to cope; create a safe space to share feelings, needs, and concerns; and learn about local resources. To determine whether a person living with dementia is fit for the group, a screening is required. This ensures the group meets the needs of its members. In order to participate in the group, each member must: have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, have mild memory loss or other mild symptoms due to dementia, acknowledge their diagnosis and related symptoms, be willing to participate in group discussions, be able to communicate their symptoms and experience, and have no other serious medical conditions or mental illness that could put anyone at risk. Group members and care partners must also recognize that membership in the group is temporary, as all persons with dementia will progress beyond the ability to participate. This group will meet monthly on the third Tuesday at 10:00 am beginning March 16, 2021, and it will run for six months. After six months, all members will be rescreened. Those still fit will be invited back to the group, while those who have progressed, and their caregivers, will be transitioned to more appropriate resources. New members will be accepted until May 2021. Anyone interested in joining or learning more about the group can reach out to Acacia Deadrick at (712) 454-5035 or aadeadrick@alz.org. </p> 2021-02-23 11:30:00 -0600

Seriously Funny: American Gothic Parodies

<p>Grant Wood’s American Gothic is probably the world’s most parodied American painting, second only to Leonardo’s Mona Lisa. The fact that thousands of parodies of American Gothic 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> 2021-03-16 16:00:00 -0500

Americans in Paris: Grant Wood and Marvin Cone's 1920 Trip to Paris

<p>For three months in the summer of 1920, Grant Wood and his best friend Marvin Cone traveled to Paris to see great art, soak up the sights, and paint.  This brief sojourn proved to be pivotal for both artists, enhancing their nascent interest in Impressionism and painting en plein air.  While each artist discontinued painting in this style beyond the early 1930s, this trip to Paris (Wood’s first trip abroad, Cone’s second) was critical to their development.  What the artists did, saw, and painted is carefully outlined in Cone’s meticulous and well-written diary of the trip, including where the artists painted on which days.  As such, this diary enables the ability to date certain works to the precise date of creation.  It also allows viewers to see how each artist depicted the same scene, often in very different terms.</p> 2021-03-16 16:00:00 -0500
