Midwest Heritage Exhibit at Coe Gallery Showcases Westward Art
A Cedar Rapids audience explored contrasts between modern Guggenheim works by Kandinsky Klee and Miro in the West gallery and 19th century frontier scenes by Remington Miller Eastman in the East gallery during the Midwest Heritage Conference. Curated pieces trace early artist reporters, regionalism led by Grant Wood, and Civil War era portraits of George Greene and his wife. The show, complemented by an estate fund and forthcoming graphic design displays, runs through mid April with related events at the Cedar Rapids Art Association and University of Iowa.
