Bainbridge Island Museum of Art It was a bright and beautiful day in the rainy city. And it had been nearly two weeks since bridge Island Museumthe o last First Thursday so I was feeling a n i little art starved. Since NYC is crawling with tourists this time of year, not to Ba mention the heat, humidity, and invasion of baby strollers from Brooklyn, I did what any other sensible art seeker in my shoes would do. I hopped a ferry and went to Winslow. What? Okay, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but very soon, that’s exactly what sensible art seekers are going to be doing now that the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is open. “Viva BIMA!” Anne Hirondelle • “Coil V” At the risk of giving you the impression unglazed stoneware with paint, that all the sophisticated art-crit vocabulary courtesy of Francine Seders Gallery photo credit: Marvin Gauger got knocked out of my head the moment I Bainbridge Island Museum of Art walked into this place, I just need to say that I think that the best and most surprising BIMA is so totally cool.

A good place for both of those pastimes is the John and Lillian Lovelace Gallery on the first floor. It’s a rare and delightful experience to be wandering through selections of Northwest art from BIMA’s permanent collection while ferryboats float in and out of view and people stroll the streets of Winslow just outside the window. Especially when the collection is as much fun as this one is. I like the pair of elegant but cheeky Philip McCracken sculptures—different versions of eternally suspended tension—that are sitting right next to each other.

The views from the second-floor Beacon Gallery (or as I call it, the prow; sometimes I can’t tell if this a museum or a luxury yacht) are even better than those on the first, but you’ll find yourself distracted from all that natural beauty by the unnatural beauty of “Sea ‘scape” an installation by Port Townsend artist Margie McDonald. It’s an invasion of fanciful and delicate marine creatures, made from recycled copper, yacht rigging wire, and fishing line, that look like the merging of sea-life and neural synapses. On opening day, this was still a work in progress so it’s impossible to say what it will eventually look like, but McDonald definitely won my award for most creative use of gallery space thanks to the spidery Gayle Bard • ‘Naselle River Marsh” oil on canvas 30 x 30 inches sea stars that cling to and crawl out from the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art crevices in the glass wall panels.

For the Love of Art: Creating the New Northwest Selections from the Herb and Lucy Pruzan Collection Tacoma Art Museum • Tacoma, Washington

Soon after their 1958 wedding Lucy and couple began a journey of discovering Herb Pruzan wanted to do something to lesser known artists by talking with dealers, make their house a home. The answer attending openings, and befriending the was artwork and their ﬁrst acquisition as a artists themselves. “They acquired art,” couple was a 1959 abstract painting by C. says critic Matthew Kangas who wrote one Louis Hafermehl purchased at the Bellevue of the catalog’s essays, “by looking and Arts and Crafts Fair. This was the start of learning and educating their eyes.” something big, the beginnings of a stellar collection of regional artworks that the This method of acquiring art out of curiosity Pruzans are still adding acquisitions to. and love versus ego and investment glues this collection together in so palpable a way Poet Theodore Roethke would have said that the collection feels like an extension of that the Pruzans learned by going where the couple’s relationship. they had to go. Since they could not afford works by then well known artists such Rock Hushka, Curator of Contemporary as Mark Toby and Kenneth Callahan the and Northwest Art at the Tacoma Art Museum, described the Pruzan’s as a ﬁxture of Seattle’s art scene, “They are known for attending receptions in Seattle.” Gallery owner John Braseth says that he thinks they have come to every opening but three at his gallery in the past 30 years. No wonder the Pruzan’s needed to forgo getting another family dog in order to free up time!

In the catalog Herb Pruzan is quoted as saying, “What we look for in art is the excellent use of materials and techniques.” The couple has literally invested in the ability for artists to remain here and grow.

Hushka describes a subtle chronology in the way the exhibit is composed. Besides

Paul Horiuchi’s “Blue Transition #2” from 1981 is as transcendental a Morris Graves. Andrew Keating’s “Interval” from 1986, painted with his then signature Pepto-Bismol palette, is now a weird classic. Michael Ehle’s large gouache on paper titled “Five Wise, Five Foolish” is a breathtaking example of the late artist’s work.
