House of Cards - Philip Laber
<p><a name="_Hlk136426450">Philip Laber, former Professor Emeritus of Art at Northwest Missouri State, will showcase his works in the Musser McColm mansion. His exhibit, <em>House of Cards,</em> is a suite of experimental printmaking that examines and metaphorically represents American and global cultures and politics and the resulting consequences upon daily life, edited through the eyes of a mythical and whimsical “Everyman”. The works are a hybrid approach that combines traditional etching and engraving processes with digital imagining and contemporary printmaking. </a></p><p>In the summer of 2016, Laber retired from teaching photography, printmaking, and drawing at Northwest Missouri State to become a full-time artist. His creative interests remain experimental printmaking and photography, and more recently, exploring acrylic painting. The public will have an opportunity to meet Philip Laber on Sunday, June 25, at the Friends Annual Ice Cream Social.</p> 2023-06-05 17:00:00 -0500

Art Exhibit: By Design
<p>A first of its kind! The gallery has invited area interior designers who have partnered with the Gallery previously to participate in a fun take on an art exhibition.

Have you ever felt drawn to an artwork, but didn’t feel like it would “fit” the room you had space for? This exhibition highlights the need for good design and the importance of original artworks in fulfilling interior spaces. Samples of wall coverings, tile, drapery, furniture textures and more can be found on display with included artworks. Four local design studios are featured: Janna McCalley Interiors, Aaron Murphy Interiors, Melanie Olson Design Group, and Lori Wiles Design for a total of 8 different designs.

Overalls: Grant Wood’s Depictions of Denim
<p>Jeans are the ubiquitous American garment. Its history documents both the good and bad in American society and reveals a great deal about American culture. Grant Wood is well-known for appearing in his working uniform, overalls. Made of denim, they were not only a great working outfit but also referenced his youth growing up on a farm. But overalls were used for far more than farming and depictions of overalls, denim, and jeans appear frequently in his work. This exhibition looks at depictions of denim in Wood’s work and the implications of their appearance.</p> 2023-06-06 16:00:00 -0500

Mauricio Lasansky: Master Printmaker
<p>The Museum is fortunate to be able to dedicate four galleries to the work of consummate printmaker, Mauricio Lasansky. Making prints for more than 65 years--first in his native Argentina, then in New York City, and for more than 55 years in Iowa City, Iowa--Lasansky's generous gift of prints in the 1980s and 1990s made it possible for the Museum to present a wide range of the artist's works, changing all four galleries every six months. Best known for large-scale prints in which he uses multiple plates and full ranges of color, Lasansky combines a spectrum of graphic techniques including etching, drypoint, aquatint, and engraving. Throughout his stylistic evolution, he created eloquent figural statements that are colorful, fresh, and spontaneous.</p> 2023-06-06 16:00:00 -0500
