"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.
