{"product_id":"beyond-mysticism-the-modern-northwest","title":"Beyond Mysticism: The Modern Northwest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the early twentieth century, the Puget Sound region was home to a progressive artistic and cultural scene shaped by the region’s rapid urbanization, its singular natural environment, and its orientation to the Pacific Rim. This generative milieu was fertile ground for four well-known Modernist artists―Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey―known as “mystics” for their shared admiration of the Pacific Northwest landscape and perceived alignment with Asian and Northwest Coast Native cultures. \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBeyond Mysticism: The Modern Northwest\u003c\/span\u003e situates these artists within the broader history of Modern art in the Pacific Northwest through an exploration of key themes: industrialization, ecocriticism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. This exhibition catalog retells the fascinating story of Northwestern Modernism to reveal the range, complexity, and significance of local Modernists―including Fay Chong, William Cumming, Z. Vanessa Helder, Kenjiro Nomura, Albert Smith Sr., Kamekichi Tokita, Julius Twohy, and James Washington Jr.―within the context of American Modernism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eTheresa Papanikolas\u003cbr\u003eUniversity of Washington Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eHardcover, 168 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eISBN 9788857254548\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48139542823147,"sku":"9780295754840","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/1061\/files\/91pHtJvZrlL._SL1500.jpg?v=1776977893","url":"https:\/\/store.hammer.ucla.edu\/products\/beyond-mysticism-the-modern-northwest","provider":"Hammer Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
