8 10 4 2 Horiuchi’s “Remnants of the Past” By Sally Parks

Thanks to the generosity and exquisite taste of Midori Quartermaine and to the artistic genius of the renowned artist, Paul Horiuchi, Skyline at First Hill has become the grateful recipient of his collage, “Remnants of the Past.” Gifted by Midori in 2012 and displayed in Skyline’s living room, “Remnants of the Past” has come to us not only from the generosity of our benefactor, but also out of a lifelong friendship between the Horiuchi and the Quartermaine families.

The story begins when Midori was a student at Cornish College of the Arts and visited the recently-opened Gordon Woodside Gallery on Capitol Hill in 1964. There, she discovered Horiuchi’s uniquely beautiful work in collage and sculpture and instantly recognized his genius. The story continues with their becoming acquainted during one of Midori’s morning walks at the Kubota Gardens in southeast Seattle where Horiuchi regularly walked his German shepherds. By 1974, the Quartermaines and the Horiuchis had become lifelong friends and in the process of putting the finishing touches on their newly-built home, situated not far from the Horiuchis’, Midori and her husband set out to commission the artist to create two large collages for their two- story-high living room walls. “Remnants of the Past” is one of these.

Paul Horiuchi began as a (mostly) self-taught water colorist, inspired by the drama of the landscapes that surrounded him during the several decades he lived and worked there for the Union Pacific Railroad. Unexpectedly, in 1954, Horiuchi—now middle-aged—made his life-changing discovery of collage while walking through Seattle’s Chinatown where the torn and peeling paper advertisements on telephone poles attracted his attention. By 1958, his collages had become recognized in Seattle as the work of one of its most important artists; and in 1959, he gained international recognition when his work was hung in Rome in Sir Herbert Read’s exhibition, “Moments of

Vision.” p. 3 3 Horiuchi’s “Remnants of the Past”

“Remnants of the Past” (1974) is quite Continued from p. 2 literally a work of remnants of the past— made from scraps of old paper, fabrics, and texts that Horiuchi collected on trips to and, in a less literal vein, by his use of the red-orange color of the lacquer used by Japanese artists since ancient times. Created some 20 years after he began to work in collage, “Remnants” reveals itself as belonging to the period of transition to Horiuchi’s later style of collage, first by the placement of its central figure framed by an unfigured ground as in “Survival of Sensitivity”1 and also by the combining of clean- edged paper rectangles along with torn-edged ones, as seen, for instance in “Essence of Drama”2 from 1978 where, for the moment, he eschewed torn edges entirely.

More importantly “Remnants of the Past” is a perfect rendering of a “poemscape,” a term coined by his critic, Tom Robbins, to capture the essence of Horiuchi’s art and its exquisite, lyrical beauty. In his own words, Horiuchi has told us, “My collages are attempts to produce areas of peace and serenity with which to balance the sensationalism—the fast, hard tempo of our time.” “Remnants” graced the Quartermaine home for thirty years and now graces Skyline’s living room where its quiet simplicity and beauty offer us all a restful and refreshing pause from life’s hurly-burly.

By Cornelius Rosse Each season has been organized around a theme, such as one or two composers, a period in opera history or the combination of opera with another related field. For example, last season we looked at British history through Italian operas. The theme of our next season is “Around the World with SkyOpera.” Our intent is to discuss and present not only bona fide operas characteristic of each country, but also the lighter genres of musical theater, such as operetta, zarzuela and musicals. On September 18, we will kick off with a fabulous production of Oklahoma! from the National Theater in London (starring Hugh Jackman) and a festive American dinner, prepared by our chefs who make our “opera dinners” so memorable.

Grate- fully it receives the soup the coin the holy water and offers it back again - giving, receiving, giving back again - a circular renewal, like the seasons.

Medicine is highly regulated in attempts to control quality. Currently doctors, nurses, pharmacists and others can face hospital sanctions, medical disciplinary boards, media scorn, and malpractice threats when they make mistakes. In most situations, a number of things have to go wrong at the same time in order for the mistake to occur. None of the above are my personal experiences, but "I've been there, done that!"

On a personal level it's humiliating and devastating to be involved in a serious mistake. I sat down with a psychiatrist friend after a significant mistake and it helped to talk it out, but the lton John had it right, "It's E hospital's legal department had to be notified, affected family sad, so sad.

Hal recently received an award from the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation. The award, a beautiful piece of sculpted glass, is engraved with these words, “Thank you for your lasting and positive impact on the Parkinson’s Community.”

Talking to Hal one immediately gets a sense of his positive attitude to life and to his disease. He has always been interested in sports—he played football and competed in track in high school and in college—and he has continued to make physical activity part of his life. He continued a strenuous running schedule after his diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease twenty years ago. Ten years ago, he participated in the 206 mile Seattle to Portland bike ride, and four years ago, he was still able to “shuffle jog,” as he calls it, on the sidewalks around Skyline. Even now, he participates in seated activity three times a week, aided by his wonderful caregiver, Will Davis.

Hal has been a longtime board director for the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation, but is best known in the Parkinson’s community for his book, H.O.P.E. (2002, Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation, POB 56, Mercer Island, WA 98040, $14). In l998 Hal attended a seminar at Swedish Medical Center, where a speaker concentrated on the negative aspects of Parkinson’s. Hal raised his hand to ask what kind of hope the speaker could provide, but he was never given a chance to ask his question. So he went home, thought about it for a while and then decided to write a book to give encouragement to those he calls “Parkinson’s People.” The book outlines four key factors in living with Parkinson’s: Help, Optimism, Physician and Exercise. The book has sold thousands of copies and people tell Hal that it has changed their lives. Every penny of the proceeds from the sale of the book is donated to the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation.
