Graham Art Exhibit Highlights Local Craft and Portraiture
Nan Graham earns praise for unique design in leather tooling and glass reverse painting. Edwin J. Bruns recalls her originality in a night school class. The Grahams, living in the Grant Wood home in Iowa City, attend as guests of honor at a public tea 3 to 5 this afternoon. Life magazine requests prompted two paintings from the show for full color reproduction in New York. The gallery stays open extended hours this week to 9 p.m. and Sundays 2 to 6 p.m. until October 1. Cotton moths, large tropical insects, migrate north in autumn and perish in the cold.
