Marvin Cone is mainly known for his tranquil and colorful cloud scenes and landscapes. But he also did a series of paintings that is downright spooky, centered on a rickety, dark staircase and the creepy visage of a ghost (?) who has come to be known as Uncle Ben.
The Cedar Rapids Museum of Art has brought these paintings together in “Haunted – Marvin Cone’s Ghosts,” now on exhibit through Dec. 8. The Cone exhibit is paired with “Up All Night,” a collection that explores how artists have depicted the night and darkness.
Executive Director Sean Ulmer also reminds us that the museum’s annual gala is Nov. 1 at the Cedar Rapids Country Club, which benefits educational and outreach programs at the museum.
