"Wild and Tame Flowers: Context, Symbolism and Musings on Possible Meanings in Grant Wood’s Flower Lithographs," by Thomas Harvran

Havran will explore the paired prints, Wild Flowers and Tame Flowers, during this talk and share an original poem inspired by the works.

Thomas Havran, occasional artist and writer, but perpetually obsessed plant nerd, cultivates a simple life within Grant Wood’s “Young Corn” landscape near Amana, Iowa.

This February, the Stanley has partnered with students at the Afro-American Cultural Center to celebrate Black History Month through two Crafternoons. Our Friday, Feb. 13 and Friday, Feb. 27 Crafternoons will be collaborative events, focused on helping highlight Black voices and cultural heritage through making activities and community building. Join us on Feb. 13 for self-led crafting, and on Feb. 27 for a led craft from the Afro-American Cultural Center's executive directors.
