Modernism in the Pacific Northwest: The Mythic and the Mystical

Few regions of the country produced such a distinctive group of artists with such a particular view on the modern world as did the Pacific Northwest in the 1930s and 1940s. Capitalizing on their particular geographical position at what was a modern art outpost â€• working free from the strong influences of New York and Europe, and sitting at the portal to the Far East â€• a close-knit group of artists sought to address the global political, social, and economic ills of their time.

The seminal figures in this group â€• Mark Tobey and Morris Graves especially â€• quickly garnered critical attention in New York for their uncommon imagery and expressive technique, which drew upon spiritual tenents ranging from Zen Buddhism to the Persian Bahaâ€™i faith and their mastery of Asian calligraphy. Modernism in the Pacific Northwest presents an overview drawn from SAMâ€™s unparalleled collection of the key figures of this generation: Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Leo Kenney, Paul Horiuchi, George Tsutakawa, Phil McCracken, James Washington Jr., and Tony Angell.
