Cedar Rapids Art Center reviewed and Marvin Cone noted
A look at the new Cedar Rapids Art Center outlines its layout on three floors, the second floor housing the Marvin Cone Gallery and auditorium, and the unsounded Stamats Library. It critiques the Marvin Cone collection as a pastiche lacking unity, highlighting Hawthorne’s The Captain, the Cook, and the First Mate and Conger Metcalf as strongest works with nuanced composition and Renaissance-like modelling.
