This exhibition will feature the work of important Northwest women artists active in the early to mid-20th century. Rarely seen today, many of these artists were an integral part of the region’s nascent cultural development.  Featured artists include Louise Crow (1891-1968), Doris Totten Chase (1923-2008), Margaret Tomkins (1916 - 2002) and others. This exhibition will also introduce the work of Roselyn Buck Pape (1925-2020) and Elsa Thoresen (1906-1994) a leading figure in European Surrealism who settled in Seattle after WWI. Several paintings will represent recent gifts to our permanent collection as well as loans from family and private collections.
