"Kenneth Callahan's life spanned most of the twentieth century, and during that time he made many contributions to the art of the Pacific Northwest and the nation. Although Callahan traveled widely, he is best known as part of the celebrated "Northwest School," with artists Guy Anderson, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey. In addition to being a prolific painter, Callahan was an art critic, taught art at many American institutions, and served as curator of painting at the Seattle Art Museum.". "This book commemorates Kenneth Callahan's life and achievements, serves as an important complement to Callahan's paintings, and also reveals a new chapter in the art history of the Pacific Northwest."--BOOK JACKET.
