Bissell's: A Family of Artists

Organized by Dubuque Museum of Art

Mention the name Bissell in Dubuque and a family well-known for their many business and political achievements as well as their involvement and success in the arts, locally and nationally, immediately comes to mind.  This exhibition will present work from the five members of the Frederick E. Bissell family, whose son John is especially well-known for his nostalgic train and boat scenes.

A Passion for Color:  American Women Color Printmakers, 1895-1965

Organized by Loras College and Dubuque Museum of Art
Sponsored by Loras College

Innovations by women printmakers contributed significantly to all phases of the development of color printmaking techniques in America during the first half of the twentieth century. From Mary Cassatt’s early experiments in color intaglio to June Wayne’s lasting legacy in lithography, we see that these women fueled much of the development in this field. This exhibition, in cooperation with Loras College,  surveys these achievements through the works of more than fifty American women artists over a period of seventy years from the collection of Belverd and Marian Needles.

Quiet Courage: Images of Women from The North American Indian by Edward S. Curtis

Organized by Dubuque Museum of Art

Images of women in Curtis's masterful collection express strength and character.  Women were photographed going about the plethora of daily activities that kept everyone fed, clean, and cared for, including gathering food and firewood, cleaning game, cooking, fetching water, and caring for their children - not to mention home repairs when needed!  They also posed for Curtis wearing everything from their most elegant wedding attire to plain work clothes.
