“Colors and Contours That Speak Midwestern,”
a painting exhibit by Rob Dietrich:
An historian by trade and training, Rob Dietrich
came to artistic endeavors following retirement
after a long career as a history teacher. His
teaching career introduced him to art history
which became a part of his survey level history
classes. In these, he came to appreciate the
panorama of Western art, while developing a
fondness for the paintings of the early Moderns.
Then, art studio classes among the diverse
offerings at the Iowa City Senior Center and
Life Drawing sessions provided instruction and
practice in a variety of mediums. What evolved is
a style that features vivid colors, sweeping contour
lines, and a gestural approach to creating images.
