| Physical Description: | Tempera on board painting consisting of abstracted figurative image in blue, grey, brown, cream, and tan. Human shaped figures in the foreground - one on the left appears to be riding a horse, the two on the right appear to be in a boat, and several in the center form a ball shape. The blue appears to be water. The horizon of the image is near the top of the image with a slightly interrupted wide line of dark brown topped with yellow, tan and peach colors. |
| Description: | Label Text for object from Safeco: "Callahan works in oil, tempura and ink. He uses monochromatic "Northwest grays" to renter his landscapes, native animals, insects and figure studies. Callahan avoids visualizing a painting before beginning. Instead he starts painting with line, rhythm, form and color moving freely on the surface of his canvases. Kenneth Callahan rose to fame as part of the original "Northwest School", which also included Morris Graves, Mark Toby, and Guy Anderson. He has worked in the Seattle area most of his life" |
