Name of creator(s): Steve McCutcheon, P.S. Hunt, Sydney Laurence, Lomen Brothers, Don C. Knudsen, Dolores Roguszka, Phyllis Mithassel, Alyeska Pipeline Services Co., Frank Flavin, Jim Cacia, Randy Smith, Don Horter Administrative/Biographical History: Stephen Douglas McCutcheon was born in the small town of Cordova, AK, in 1911, just three years after the first city lots were sold at auction. In 1915, the family relocated to Anchorage, which was then just a tent city thrown up to house workers on the Alaska Railroad. McCutcheon began taking photographs as a young boy, but it wasn’t until he found himself in the small town of Curry, AK, working as a night roundhouse foreman for the railroad that he set out to teach himself the art and science of photography. As a Deputy U.S. Marshall in Valdez in 1940-1941, McCutcheon honed his skills as an evidential photographer; as assistant commissioner in the state’s new Dept. of Labor, McCutcheon documented the cannery industry in Unalaska. From 1942 to 1944, he worked as district manager for the federal Office of Price Administration in Fairbanks, taking photographs of trading stations, communities and residents of northern Alaska; he sent an album of these photos to Washington, D.C., “to show them,” he said, “that things that applied in the South 48 didn’t necessarily apply to Alaska.” 1 1 Emanuel, Richard P.

  • Kes Woodward Exhibit in Anchorage Alaska
    Kes Woodward exhibit in Anchorage Alaska Kesler Woodward, the widely recognized Alaska artist from Fairbanks, will be featured in a solo exhibition at the blue.hollomon gallery. Woodward is best known for his paintings of birch trees and the northern landscape. This new body of work provides his birch tree “portraits” and his personal view of the Alaska landscape in a range of seasons. In his exhibit catalog last October in Montreal he says, “I made completely abstract, non-representational paintings for years before my images evolved into landscapes.” Woodward also says, “I want my paintings to be very realistic – all about the beauty, wonder, and magic of the thing I’ve painted. But, up close, I want them to be entirely about, color, texture, surface, gesture – all about the paint.” Woodward has had numerous solo exhibitions spanning his more than 35 years of work in Alaska. He has shown his paintings and has been included in the permanent collections of the Anchorage Museum, the Alaska State Museum in Juneau, the University of Alaska Museum in Fairbanks, and the Morris Museum in Augusta, Georgia among others. His paintings are also included in numerous public, corporate and private collections throughout the United States. In addition to his active career as an artist, Kesler Woodward has worked in Alaska, first as the Curator of Visual Arts at the Alaska State Museum in Juneau, next as the Artistic Director of the Visual Arts Center of Alaska in Anchorage and finally as Professor of Art at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks from 1981 until his retirement in 2000, when he returned to painting on a full-time basis.

Nellie Brown Copy Photograph Collection, B1988.11.15 Biography Sydney Laurence (1865-1940) was the first professional painter to reside in Anchorage and one of the most prolific landscape artists to depict the Alaskan frontier. He was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1865. During his youth, he attended Peekskill Military Academy, and may have studied painting under Edward Moran. From 1887 to 1889, he exhibited at the National Academy of Design and studied at the Art Students League of New York. He married his first wife, fellow artist Alexandrina Fredericka Dupre, in 1889, and the couple moved to Cornwall, England in the spring of that year. While in England, Laurence became a member of the St. Ives Art Club and the Royal Society of British Artists, with regular entries to the Paris Salon. Between 1894 and 1902, he served as an illustrator-correspondent for London’s Black and White magazine, covering the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center - Atwood Resource Center 625 C Street, Anchorage, AK 99501 p 907-929-9235 f 907-929-9235 [email protected] Zulu War, the Spanish American War, the Second Boer War, and the Boxer Rebellion.1 He had two sons while living in England: Leslie Frederick, born in 1895, and Edward Eugene, born in 1902.

  • Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935
    Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair René Bravmann Douglas Collins Program authorized to Offer Degree: Art History University of Washington Abstract Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History Northwest Impressionist artists are among the forgotten figures in American art history. Responsible for bringing Modernism to Washington and Oregon, they dominated the art communities in Seattle and Portland from about 1910 to 1928, remaining influential until the mid 1930’s. After describing the artists briefly, this dissertation summarizes and evaluates the slim historiography of Northwest Impressionism. Impressionism and Tonalism are contrasted in order to situate these artists within the broad currents of American art history. Six important artists who have not been studied in the past are each accorded a chapter that summarizes their educations, careers, and artistic developments. In Seattle, Paul Gustin, the early leader of the Seattle art community, was most closely associated with images of Mount Rainier. Edgar Forkner, a well established Indiana artist, moved to Seattle and painted numerous canvases of old boats at rest and still lifes of flowers. Dorothy Dolph Jensen, a latecomer, emphasized shoreline and harbor scenes in her work. In Portland, Charles McKim traded complete anonymity in Portland, Maine for the leadership of the Oregon art community, creating a variety of landscapes and seascapes. Clyde Keller produced an enormous output of landscapes over a long career that extended to California as well as Oregon.
