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. These papers reflect this world. Six and a half cubic feet in size and spanning 1930 to 1987, the collection documents Ms. Dusanne's commitment to promoting the arts. This collection is a merger of three accessions. The first, 2430, was donated in 1975 as part of the Archives of Northwest Art, a project begun by the University of Washington's Henry Gallery. The second, 2430.:2; also from the Archives of Northwest Art, was donated in 1983. The third and largest, 2430-3, was donated in 1994 by Partners in Care, for Theodosia Young, Ms. Dusanne's daughter. Young, who was a singer and an actress and extremely close to her mother, cooperated with the Seattle Art Museum in developing an exhibition in tribute to Dusanne in 1977. Her papers are also included in the collection .. Postcards, originally with the papers, have been transferred to Special Collections. Except for customer purchase records, which are closed until 2045, the collection is open to all researchers. The collection was processed in July 1994.

Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Edward B. Thomas on April 28 & May 10, 1983. The interview took place in Seattle, Washington, and was conducted by John Olbrantz for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DATE: APRIL 28, 1983 [Tape 1] JOHN OLBRANTZ: Ed, can you tell me a little bit about your background, where you were born, your early childhood experiences, your parents, who your father was, who your mother was, how they came to live in this part of the country? EDWARD THOMAS: Well, I was born in Cosmopolis, Washington, and many times when I've come through customs, when I was much younger and especially at the Mexican border, they would say, "Where were you born?" and I'd say, "Cosmopolis, Washington," they'd say, "Look, bud! Don't get funny with us." (laughter) But there actually is such a place as Cosmopolis, Washington. Nobody had any particular influence upon me, I would say, in my younger years as far as becoming interested in art, and particularly teaching art. I had a very severe illness when I was four and five years old and was confined to bed a lot, and so people brought me tablets and color crayons and pencils and stuff like that.

Wonderful book on Art, Seattle, FriendshipBy Mr. DemetreNot only is it one of the more delightful books I have read recently, it could very well be the best autobiography ever written by a lifetime resident of my hometown. "The Eighth Lively Art" is at once a colorful history of Seattle in the 1950s, a thoughtful exploration of the artistic process, and a celebration of the connections that exist between people.Wesley Wehr recounts his life as a young man in Seattle in the 1950s where, as a student of music composition at the University of Washington, he was befriended by such luminaries as painter Mark Tobey, poet Elizabeth Bishop, and actress Margaret Hamilton.

  • Helmi: Letters from Elma, by Wesley Wehr
    WashingtonHistory.org HELMI Letters from Elma By Wesley Wehr The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2000: Vol. 14, No. 2 Nellie Cornish said to me, "Whoever becomes an artist dedicates himself to a lifetime of hard work." Someone also said, "Artists and saints are akin"—both possess infinite patience. —Helmi Juvonen Among the major artists of the "Northwest School"—Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, George Tsutakawa, and about a dozen others—painter Helmi Juvonen has emerged as an important figure. Her work is imaginative, often playful, and bountifully original. No other non-Indian artist in the early history of Northwest Art has had such firsthand knowledge of Native American art of the Pacific Northwest. The only comparable figure would be British Columbia painter Emily Carr. Both Juvonen and Carr sketched the totemic art and rituals of the region, transforming their on-the-spot sketches into strong, distinctive artistic statements. Helmi Dagmar Juvonen (1903-1985) was born in Butte, Montana. When she was 15, she and her family moved to Seattle. Her Finnish parents encouraged her artistic expression as a child. By the time Helmi entered Queen Anne High School, she was already an accomplished artist. She continued to develop her talent at the Cornish School (now Cornish College of the Arts) and appears to have been a highly motivated, talented, and hard-working student. Boxes of notebooks from these early days attest to her passion for drawing. Helmi made a respectable living by selling prints to clients like Frederick & Nelson and making sketches for the Seattle Times.
