Hawkeye Expressionism for charity
I first became aware of Jeff McNutt's "Hawkeye Expressionism" last fall, when the 41-year-old Iowa City native introduced his Hayden Fry portrait at FryFest.
This summer, there are two chances to get in the bidding for some Hawkeye Expressionism.
The above painting is McNutt's "On Iowa March & Memories," a 28" x 42" oil & Kinnick Stadium brick on canvas.
This painting will be available for bid at the Table 2 Table Annual Dinner tomorrow night at the University Athletic Club in Iowa City.
"Table 2 Table", a Iowa City group dedicated to keep wholesome, edible food from going to waste by collecting it from donors and distributing to those in need through agencies that serve the hungry, homeless and at-risk populations. Their website is http://www.table2table.org/.
Mary Ferentz, wife of Iowa football coach Kirk, will be the keynote speaker.
In June, The University of Iowa Children's Hospital Golf Open (formerly Nate Kaeding's tournament) will have an auction for the McNutt portrait of Hayden Fry made specifically for FryFest. The Fry portrait is signed by Hayden and McNutt.
This is 'On Iowa March & Memories' by Iowa City artist Jeff McNutt, whose 'Hawkeye Expressionism' paintings have become a favorite among Hawkeye fans. This painting will be available for bid at the Table 2 Table Annual Dinner tomorrow night at the University Athletic Club in Iowa City. In June, The University of Iowa Children's Hospital Golf Open (formerly Nate Kaeding's tournament) will have an auction for the McNutt portrait of Hayden Fry made specifically for FryFest. The Fry portrait is signed by Hayden and McNutt. (Jeff McNutt)
An original painting titled Hayden Fry - 'Game Day', oil on canvas, 36' X 60' created by artist Jeff McNutt will be displayed at the Tradeshow in the Coralville Marriott during Fry Fest. A limited number of 25 prints have sold out but posters of the painting will be available at the tradeshow event. In 2004 McNutt, who calls his style 'Hawkeye Expressionism.', received authorization from the UI to recycle Kinnick Stadium materials including brick, metal and wood from the demolition of Kinnick Stadium into his paintings. As an example he crushes Kinnick Stadium brick into a pigment for color and texture in his oil on canvas paintings.
