One Fine Show: “Beyond Mysticism, The Modern Northwest” at the Seattle Art Museum

A new exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum, “Beyond Mysticism: The Modern Northwest,” reexamines the legacy of a 1953 LIFE magazine feature that anointed four Seattle artists—Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Kenneth Callahan, and Guy Anderson—as the faces of a distinct regional Modernism. The show expands the original narrative by including Asian artists like Kamekichi Tokita, whose work challenges the magazine's oversimplified framing, and features 150 works across painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture. It also connects the movement to Abstract Expressionism and contemporary environmental concerns, pairing pieces by artists such as Malcolm Roberts with works by Salvador Dalí and Georgia O'Keeffe.
