Zoom lecture "Painting a Picture of Iowa Dairy: Grant Wood and J. G. Cherry" with Tara Templeman, Curator and Collections Manager, The History Center

 Tara Templeman, Curator and Collections Manager, The History Center. Painting a Picture of Iowa Dairy: Grant Wood and J. G. Cherry.

Templeman will discuss one of Wood’s first major commissions: a series of paintings for the J.G. Cherry Company, a dairy equipment business in Cedar Rapids. Intended as a form of advertisement for the plant and the new equipment, Wood designed a series of portraits highlighting factory workers on the job. The paintings were first displayed in a window at the Indianapolis Power and Light Company as part of a dairy equipment show held in Indianapolis.
