After Many Springs: Regionalism, Modernism and the Midwest


Clayton Nida, Roman Malone, Alycia West, Hannah Van Sickle, Kristina Rose, and Ashlei Pritichard viewed the "American Gothic" first hand along with other regionalist artwork.  Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry,  and Jackson Pollack were featured in the exhibit being held at the Des Moines Art Center.  It was interesting to see a familiar subject being featured by well-known artists.  The exhibit will run through May 17th.  If you haven't had a chance to see it, take an afternoon to Des Moines and check it out.  You'll be impressed.
