“If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” This quotation from 1882 by designer and reformer William Morris sums up the underlying philosophy that a master of the Japanese style of pottery imbued his students with in the 1960s and 1970s. |

One of the things I enjoy about the shows at the MidCoast Fine Arts Gallery in LeClaire’s Iowa Welcome Center is the open comment book. People who wander in off the highway, looking for a place to make a potty stop, can find themselves in an art gallery. |

David Campbell’s large, realistic sculptures overwhelm a space and demand the viewer’s attention, while Marguerite Perret’s prints delicately await the audience’s close inspection. This contrast makes for an excellent show at MidCoast Gallery West on the corner of Second Avenue and 17th Street, just west of the plaza in downtown Rock Island. |

Steve Maxon’s bronze and aluminum sculptures have a hard edge – pun intended – with a huge dose of humor. The bronze cast and iron piece Gone West, for example, has the upper part of a skull wearing a World War I army helmet that a skeleton hand is tipping to the viewer. |
