Did You Know?

Since the 2010s, an actor dressed in a dark bodysuit as Shadowman (and in other costumes as other characters) has shown up at various events in Cleveland.

Description

In Herbert Ascherman’s portrait of two Cleveland artists, Shadowman sits on a bench on the terrace of the Cleveland Museum of Art beside Dexter Davis, who holds his woodblock print Face (c. 2000). In addition to having art in the museum’s collection, Davis has worked at the museum as a guard for many years. Shadowman prefers to keep his identity a mystery.
