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> 2022-12-03 16:00:00 -0600

The Collector's Eye: The Collection of Thomas C. Jackson and Joanne Stevens
<p>The Collector's Eye: The Collection of Thomas C. Jackson and Joanne Stevens<br><br>October 1, 2022-January 15, 2023</p><p>Price range 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 full-time practicing artist himself.</p> 2022-12-03 16:00:00 -0600
