Persian Miniatures in Brilliant Color Stirs Cedar Rapids Gallery
The Cedar Rapids Art scene features 14th to 16th century Persian miniature reproductions from the Gulistan Imperial Library. Violent central scenes in vivid reds and earth tones showcase controlled composition and expert technique. Also on view are Chinese paintings, new acquisitions, and a Water Color Today exhibit from Smithsonian works opening Tuesday. The arts schedule ties to the Jose Greco dance company performance and a University of Iowa concert, with Latin American works by Amanda de Leon prompting campus debate.
