The Pella Public Library is hosting the program, “Looking Closer at Grant Wood: What Did He Do, and How Did He Do It?” next week.

It is a talk by Design Historian Roy Behrens, a long time Professor of Art at UNI. This 45-minute slide presentation, funded by Humanities Iowa and Friends of the Pella Library, is a visual and verbal analysis of Wood’s artistic legacy, including dozens of examples of his work. It will cover how Wood was trained as an artist, what influenced him, who he influenced, and what he achieved. The program will be held on Tuesday at 6:30 in the Pella Public Library Meeting Room.
