Grant Wood Revealed: Rarely Seen Works by an American Master
<p><span itemprop="description">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.</span></p> 2021-04-27 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> 2021-05-18 16:00:00 -0500

Seriously Funny: American Gothic Parodies
<p><span itemprop="description">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.</span> </p> 2021-05-20 20:00:00 -0500

Skyhawks Demonstration Day
<p>Time to turn off the TV and pull the kids away from the video game, the Cedar Rapids Skyhawks are providing free live entertainment for all ages. The Skyhawks demonstration day provides an opportunity for club pilots to show spectators model aircraft of all types and sizes and promote the radio controlled aircraft hobby. Club pilots have aircraft ranging from over 10’ across to small park fliers weighing less than one pound. Impressive scale warplanes, large stunt planes, and even helicopters will be represented. RC Jets powered by miniature turbines will also be demonstrated.</p><p> The event is located at the Skyhawks club field north of town near county home road. Head north on C avenue towards county home road. 3125 C Ave EXT NE, Marion, is on your right before you get to County home road. The scheduled time for the demonstration is from 1:00 to 4:00 PM on Saturday, June 5th. If the weather is poor the event will be held on Sunday, June 6th.</p><p> Models will be flown by Skyhawks pilots of all ages. This event is an opportunity for the club to promote radio controlled flying and show those interested what can be attained through participation in the hobby. Members will be on hand to answer questions and guide those who would like to participate in the future.</p><p> Modern radio controlled systems allow for complexity and reliability unheard of in years past. New inexpensive radio systems and almost ready to fly aircraft have made it even easier for someone to get into the hobby.</p> 2018-05-24 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 to 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> 2021-05-22 16:00:00 -0500
