SLUMBER AND AWAKENING: A TIMELESS VISION
Selected Works of Guy Anderson

GUY ANDERSON (1906-1998) was one of the great, legendary painters of the Twentieth Century in the Pacific Northwest. He, along with Mark Tobey, Kenneth Callahan, and Morris Graves, was part of a group known internationally as the Northwest School.

Highly respected for his increasingly large, symbolic, mythic paintings in later years, the figurative importance in his work never diminished. A telling quote from this cultivated, articulate, beloved artist may explain his vision best: “I have always endeavored to use the human figure symbolically.”
