There is an excellent art exhibit in the gallery at The Evergreen State College. It is called An Abstract - Representational Continuum and it juxtaposes abstract art with slightly surrealistic photographs culled from the college's art collection. Included are works by well-known West Coast artists and a few nationally-recognized artists. So many artists are included whose work should be seen that I could just list their names and say go see it and call that a review. For instance: Guy Anderson, a leading figure of the so-called Northwest Mystics; Diane Arbus, who startled America with her photos of circus freaks and denizens of the demi-monde; Judy Dater; Alden Mason; Royal Nebeker; Edward Weston, acknowledge master of modern photography; and William Wiley, the granddaddy of Funk...
