Grant Wood: from Farm Boy to American Icon Exhibition
Grant Wood: From Farm Boy to American Icon examines how the major events in Wood’s life are reflected in his art: building a house for himself, his mother, and his sister in Cedar Rapids; working for the Cedar Rapids Community School District; moving into his studio home at 5 Turner Alley; and his four trips to Europe during the 1920s. His last trip, when he traveled to Munich to help fabricate a large stained glass window for the Veterans Memorial Building, precipitated a major stylistic change from his American Impressionist paintings to the harder-edged style of his later work. 2026-09-18 16:00:00 -0500

Mauricio Lasansky: Master Printmaker Exhibition
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. 2026-09-18 16:00:00 -0500
