Artists Influenced by Grant
Wood
March 3 to May 12, 2000
Twelve working
artists from Iowa and across the country are highlighted in this exhibition.
Each artist's work is influenced either conceptually or technically by the
work of Iowa's most well known artist Grant Wood. This exhibition continues
the mission of the museum to foster and showcase living, working, local
and regional artists. Additionally, exhibiting these artists in conjunction
with the museum's collection of Grant Wood art provides an exceptional educational
opportunity. People will be able to see how the interaction of artists fosters
intellectual and technical development.
