After Allison Collins’ 2002 painting, “Steptoe Butte”

The squares of yellows and oranges like a library—all angles in their places until an unsuspecting hand…a melding, a greeting of hand to angle, of that which is fresh and sinewy and pale to the stacks, a landscape of yellow boxes and orange boxes amid a landscape of green expanse and lavender above. Who lingers here and who drives through. Who knows how to mix the rhythm of green—that undulation of grass not yet harvestable for straw, but plumbing in nutrients, hay perhaps, grain or crops, those that someone nods to on his way to the city where cement stacks ride on brick and the sky turns a pink some nights because of the smog, and it makes him recall the purity of a lavender sky astride the velvety green of field, makes him recall the symmetry of these shapes like books on the shelf of his own body.

Janée J. Baugher Janée J. Baugher is the author of two ekphrastic poetry collections, The Body’s Physics and Coördinates of Yes. Her poetry and prose have been published in Tin House, The Writer’s Chronicle, Boulevard, NANO Fiction, Nimrod, and The Southern Review, among other places, and she teaches at Richard Hugo House. In autumn 2020, McFarland will publish her academic book, Ekphrastic Writing: A Guide to Visual-Art-Influenced Poetry, Nonfiction, and Fiction.

The Lavender Palette: Gay Culture and the Art of Washington State Cascadia Art Museum • Edmonds, Washington “The Lavender Palette: Gay Culture and the Art of Washington State” at Cascadia Art Museum is the first of its kind. Curator David Martin seeks to document and illustrate the influence of gay artists in Washington state and outline their regional, national, and international importance. The public and private artworks and writings of these artists are on display for the first time together in thisexhibition.

Cascadia Art Museum • Edmonds, Washington Cascadia Martin describes significance of this in his introductory statement, “While certain Richard Bennett (1899-1971) • “Sunday” aspects of their creative output exist in circa 1943-48, tempera public collections, art with subject matter collection of Museum of History & Industry, Seattle, WA Cascadia Art Museum • Edmonds, WA illustrating their personal lives was often There are four artists whose work is destroyed or weeded out in museum synonymous with Northwest art.

Three of those artists, Tobey, of persecution and imprisonment, aesthetic Graves, and Anderson, are included influences, and documentation of gay in this exhibition. Tobey’s paintings show culture. However, I believe that the core his experimentation with white lines, strength of the exhibition is that it shares which would become his signature the stories and significance of these style. Several of Graves’ paintings artists, and in many cases these personal from the 1930s are included and they narratives are being shared with the public are wonderful examples of the social for the first time. realistic style. A later painting, “Preening Sparrow” from 1952, is also included. I was particularly thrilled to see Guy Anderson’s “Fisherman Dreaming of Home” from 1964 which is oil and metal collage on wood. His paintings and prints are staples in the both private and public art collections in the Northwest, but I think his mixed media pieces are especially personal because would often use materials in his immediate surroundings. It is vital that Tobey, Graves, and Anderson be included in this exhibition, but there another dozen artists featured that will likely not be familiar to even the most Guy Anderson (1906-1998) • “Fiery Night” devoted Northwest art connoisseur oil on paper, private collection Cascadia Art Museum • Edmonds, WA Once the visitor has entered the galleries,

The thesis of the show is to bring the private lives of these artists to the forefront; lives that they often had to hide to varying degrees. These intimate writings and images tell many stories including the “wedding” of Jackie Starr (“a top female impersonator at the Garden of Allah Club in Seattle” according to the exhibition text) and Bill Scott, the long-lasting professional and personal relationship between Del McBride and Leo Kenney (1925-2001) • “The Priestess” oil on canvas, 46.75 x 32.5 inches, private collection Clark Brott, Orre Nobles’ diary in which Cascadia Art Museum • Edmonds, WA he describes “chats” (code for sexual the first images that the viewer sees when experiences), and photographs of naked entering the space is a series 54 mugshots men in a variety of poses and displayed in the of men arrested for sodomy between 1893- “mature content” section of the exhibition. 1913. On a perpendicular wall, portraits of many of the artists are also installed. I was so grateful to be able to put faces to the names of artists that I was learning about for the first time. I am very familiar with portraits of Morris Graves, for example, but other artists like Thomas Handforth, Sarah Spurgeon, and Richard Bennett were completely new to me. Rediscovery has become a theme for the exhibitions at Cascadia Art Museum and it is a real benefit for the artistic community. The galleries that hold the exhibition Delbert J.
