Have you heard about slow looking? Every Tuesday evening, the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art invites you “Dive In” by slowing down and spending time looking closely at a work in the museum’s collection. Then join your fellow lookers, Stanley Museum of Art director Lauren Lessing and film critic Uri Lessing, to discuss your observations on Instagram Live 

 

 

This week, Lauren and Uri explore Grant Wood's In the Spring. They will go live on Instagram at 7:00 PM to take a deep dive with you into what you see when looking at the artwork.

According to MoMA, i
n this lithograph “a farmer rests from toil, having installed a very long row of fence posts that form a path to a distant barn. The stylized landscape of rolling hills is orderly, and the smiling figure, his shovel a symbol of his labor, seems satisfied and optimistic. Created at the end of the 1930s, the decade of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and countless farm foreclosures, Wood's image is an idealized view of a seemingly happier time.”
