  • French Impressionism and the Northwest
    Contact: Hillary Ryan, 253.272.4258 ext 3051 [email protected] Tacoma Art Museum presents New Exhibition Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest IMAGES AVAILABLE August 2, 2019 (Tacoma, WA)— Opening on September 28, Tacoma Art Museum will present Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest, a new exhibition that examines how the work of French Impressionists and their immediate precursors made their way into Northwest public and private collections. It also will include selected paintings by American and Northwest artists to illustrate the spread of Impressionism across the country. “The purpose of this exhibition is deeply connected to the same passion that drove the French Impressionists, to transform the way we see,” said David F. Setford, TAM’s Executive Director and curator of this exhibition. “It does this in two ways. First, it puts rarely seen works from TAM’s European art collection into context and allows for an expanded visitor learning opportunity. In addition, it is also the first time that these Impressionist works from museums and private collections in the Northwest have been seen together. It will provide a lasting resource about French Impressionism and its historical impact for curators and collectors in our region and beyond.” Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest was organized and curated by the Tacoma Art Museum, and includes approximately fifty (50) works of art. The exhibition is accompanied by a small publication including essays by Setford and TAM curator Margaret Bullock, as well as an online listing of French Impressionist works currently in Northwest public collections.

I know the sun's out, the caterpillars and things coming out soon; but talking about the art scene, I have been reading a very interesting thing that was sent to me, once again, by Wesley Wehrÿ-- the talk that Henry Geldzahler gave to Yale, I think almost a year ago, about what he felt about the state of the New York scene, and the scene of art, generally speaking in the world. He said some very cogent things all through it, things that I think probably will apply for quite a long time, particularly to those people and a lot of young people who are so interested in the arts. Do you want to see that? MK: Sure. [Break in tape] MK: Go ahead.

After living in Seattle from 1915 to 1929, she moved to New York and immersed herself in the world of art and artists. She learned the business side of art by working in a gallery. In 1942 she returned to Seattle. After years of privately building her own collection she opened a gallery in her Lakeview Place home in 1950. Showing modern artists through her contacts in New York and Europe, she also promoted Norjhwest painters, some of whom, including Mark Tobey, achieved world wide renown. Financial problems and displacement by a new freeway (her gallery moved to 532 Broadway East in 1959) made the last years of her professional life difficult. She retired in 1964 and died in Seattle in 1972. CONTENT Zoe Dusanne's interests, friends, and business revolved around the art world.
