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> 2021-07-29 20:00:00 -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> 2021-07-29 20:00:00 -0500

Community Blood Drive - Hiawatha
<p><strong>Give the Gift of Life</strong></p><p>In the United States, donated blood saves a life every two seconds and 36,000 units of blood are used daily. That’s why blood donors are so important. From surgery to fighting cancer to giving birth, blood donations are used to save 12,000 lives a day, and your single donation can save up to three lives!</p><p>During the summer months, blood donations experience a drastic decline. Sadly, the demand for blood during these months is at an all-time high.</p><p>The team at Dental Implant & Oral Surgery Specialists of Iowa is excited to partner with ImpactLife to launch our first community blood drive. Help us save lives by scheduling your appointment to donate blood.</p> 2021-07-01 11:00:00 -0500
