Master Artists (Part 1 of 2) (#112)
In this program, we will introduce you to four Iowa artists. Will their work have the power to move you? Will their passion compel you to look at art and life in new ways? The first artist's works have the power to enrich our daily experiences. You may be surprised to discover all the places you've seen the art of Cedar Falls artist, Gary Kelley. Next, Susan Chrysler White is an artist and University of Iowa professor. Her vivacious many- layered works have the power to awaken all of our senses. Cedar Rapids artist and Mount Mercy Professor Jane Gilmor's idiosyncratic sculpture investigates the power of memory, humor, and culture. The final artist is a Bosnian immigrant who embodies the power of youth, energy, and courage. Here's a quick look at Paco Rosic as he interprets the Sistine Chapel on his Waterloo restaurant's ceiling.
