GUIDE
Wesley Wehr is a painter, paleobotanist, correspondent, autograph collector, friend and champion of Northwest artists. He was born in 1929 in Everett, Washington, and grew up in Seattle. He attended Queen Anne High School and the University of Washington, where he studied musical composition and earned a bachelor's (1951) and a master's (1953) degree. While a student at the University, Wehr became acquainted with Mark Tobey when, for a short period, he instructed Tobey in musical composition. Their friendships with continued throughout Tobey's lifetime and Tobey encouraged Wehr's development as an artist. Over the years, Wehr developed friendships with numerous other Northwest artists, such as Morris Graves and Guy Anderson. While at the University of Washington, Wehr also studied poetry with Theodore Roethke and became acquainted with Susanne Langer, who was a visiting professor of philosophy in 1953. His friendship with Langer also lasted to the end of her life. During the mid-1950s, while working as a watchman at the Henry Gallery, Wehr began to draw with pen and ink. In the 1960s he turned his creative efforts to painting, beginning with small landscapes in colored crayon. His first exhibit was at the "Artists of the Puget Sound" show at the Henry Gallery in 1961. The next year he was included in the Northwest Annual for the first time. His first one-man show was at the Otto Seligman Gallery in 1967 and his first exhibit outside the region was in 1968 as a part of "Selections From the Personal Collection of Morris Graves" at the Humboldt Gallery in San Francisco. He received international recognition in 1976 with a show at the Gallerie Rosenau in Bern, Switzerland and in 1977 at the Gallerie D'Art Modern group show in Munich. In 1980 the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria presented a retrospective of his work. In addition to his miniature- paintings, Wer is known for his line drawings of imaginary figures, sometimes called "monster drawings." Wehr has also served as guest curator and consultant to the Henry Gallery and other galleries. Wehr's longtime friendship with the Seattle artist, Helmi Juvonen, (1903-85) also dates from his time at the Henry Gallery. He provided aid and encouragement to Juvonen, particularly in the later years of her life when two retrospective shows which he curated brought her increased, though belated, recognition. He was also responsible for persuading Juvonen to donate her papers to the Libraries' Manuscripts Collection. Another of Wehr's interests is paleontology. In 1978 he was appointed affiliate curator of paleobotany at the Burke Museum on WFSTF!f WEHR PAPERS lkx:PSsun No. 2316 to 2316-36

In 1980 he discovered a species of extinct fern which was named Osmunda Wehrii for him. Wehr as Collector Wes Wehr began collecting musician's autographs as a high school student. Throughout his life Wehr has sought the acquaintance of persons he admires and has sustained friendships with Susanne Langer, Elizabeth Bishop, and others through years of correspon- dence. As a lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest, he has also collected documentation on the cultural history of the region. This interest has spurred him not only to collect the papers of artists in the region, but also to record and preserve his own experiences and observations through his published and unpublished writings. Examples of this effort are Wehr's "letters to Jose" (Joseph Newland) and to Susanne Langer, which are actually diary entries commenting upon the Seattle arts scene and other topics. (The letters to Jose were never mailed and, together with all other Newland-Wehr correspondence, are closed during the authors' lifetimes.) Notes on Arrangement The Wesley Wehr papers were received in numerous small installments between 1974 and 1986 and were consolidated during processing in 1986. The papers measure nearly 20 linear feet. The consolidation is arranged in five parts. All of Wehr's own papers were separated from the papers of others which he collected. Since a significant portion of his papers and those he collected were restricted at the time of processing, a further separation was made between restrict- ed and unrestricted papers in both categories. Paleobotanical materials differ distinctly from the rest of the papers, and so were separated and further divided between Wehr's writings and those of other paleobotanists. Many of the papers were originally filed in subject folders by the name of the artist of friend. The correspondence of those individuals with Wehr was treated as INCOMING LETTERS and there- fore filed in Part I, "Personal Papers of Wesley Wehr." Their music, art works, and writings were put in the respective series in Part III, "Papers of Others." Their correspondence with persons other than Wehr was likewise filed in Part III. The remainder of the files, including photographs, catalogs, and clippings about the individuals remain as SUBJECT SERIES in Part I. Some of the autographs in the Wehr papers were originally donated to the Music Library, but were merged with the papers when they were processed. Wehr has also donated books from Mark Tobey's personal library, Tobey exhibit catalogs, and photographs of himself, including portraits by Mary Randlett, to Special Collections Division.
