| Description: | Label text from Safeco: "Callahan works in oil, tempura and ink. He uses monochromatic "Northwest Grays" to render 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." Label text from Safeco: "Kenneth Callahan paints in an expressionistic manner with a freedom and fluidity that suggest sumi painting and Japanese calligraphy. He employs the muted colors characteristic of the "Northwest School" to give impressions of nature; the seashore, the mountains and the soul of man. Callahan is one of a group of early Northwest artists who pioneered the style that has influenced art in the region" |
