One of the state's oldest arts organizations, "Women Painters of
Washington" was founded in 1930 with the aim of overcoming
limitations faced by women artists. Over its 75-year history, the
group has counted among its members talented artists of national
prominence whose stories have not been widely shared, until now.
From founding members' early efforts to support fellow women
artists, to contemporary members' cultural exchanges and
international exhibitions, David F. Martin tells the story of Women
Painters of Washington. He examines members' artistic achievements
and the recognition they received in the national and international
art worlds. In addition, a selection of works by current WPW
members demonstrates the organization's continued vitality.
Abundant color plates clearly illustrate the talent and innovation
of these artists.
David F. Martin is a leading expert on early Northwest art and
co-author of "Shadows of a Fleeting World: Pictorial Photography
and the Seattle Camera Club."
"A visually stunning book that will utterly revise our
conventional notions of Northwest art." -HistoryLink.org
"A fitting tribute to an important local arts organization.
Highly recommended." "-Choice"
