EDMONDS, WA (PNAN) – On view through Sunday, March 2023 is the exhibition, “George Tsutakawa: Early Works on Paper” at the Cascadia Art Museum.
As one of the leading Northwest artists of his generation, George Tsutakawa (1910–97) was internationally known for his sculpture and fountain designs. However, a lesser-known aspect of his career was the production of block prints, watercolors, and works on paper that began in the 1920s and continued throughout his career.
The exhibition is drawn from the Tsutakawa estate, most of the works featured have never been seen previously by the public. These early works display concepts and inspirations that would inform the artist’s aesthetic throughout a long and distinguished career. Contextual works by Tsutakawa’s instructors and contemporaries provides a broader understanding of his body of work.
