Marvin Dorwart Cone

Marvin Dorwart Cone was an influential American painter and art professor, renowned for his distinctive approach to Regionalism. Born on October 21, 1891, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Cone spent much of his life in his hometown, deeply embedded in its cultural and artistic life.

Cone's journey into the art world was notably shaped by his education and experiences abroad. After graduating from Coe College and the Art Institute of Chicago, he served as an interpreter in France during World War I, a period that also allowed him to study at the École des Beaux Arts in Montpellier. His early career was marked by a significant partnership with fellow artist Grant Wood; together, they explored European art, which deeply influenced their styles. This partnership extended back home where they founded the Stone City Art Colony, fostering a vibrant community of Regionalist artists​​.

Cone's artistry is characterized by his ability to transform everyday scenes into visionary landscapes, integrating elements of the American Midwest with European impressionist influences. His works, such as the iconic "River Bend #5," showcase his mastery in capturing the essence and spirit of the rural American landscape through a unique lens. His paintings often featured architecture and landscapes, portrayed in a way that transcended mere realism, offering instead a mystical and more profoundly expressive view of the world​​.

Marvin Cone’s legacy continues to be celebrated, with his works prominently displayed at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art and the Winifred Cone Gallery at Coe College, ensuring his contributions to American art are remembered and appreciated.
