"Cornography: Corn Portraits from Biblical Times to Present" by Dena Tollefson includes a variety of metaphorical portraits of famous personages depicted as ears of corn. Tollefson's paintings are characterized by brightly colored and highly textured surfaces, and her "corn portraits" display a sense of humor and irony that viewers have found very engaging.
The exhibit, on display in Luther College's Center for Faith and Life gallery Feb. 3-March 15, is open to the public with no charge for admission.
