Celebrating
the Mysteries: A Retrospective of Paintings by Leo Kenney
The Museum of Northwest Art opens
its summer season on June 2, 2000 with "Celebrating the Mysteries,"
a major retrospective of paintings by Leo Kenney. A reception will be held
for Mr. Kenney in the galleries on Saturday, June 3, from 2 - 5pm. The show
continues through October 1, 2000.
The
exhibit includes more than 80 works from private and public collections
from all over the Northwest and California. This exhibition will be significant
for the cultural arts of the Pacific Northwest. It provides wonderful examples
of the historic tradition and the continuing vigor of the "Northwest
School" which began in the 1940's. (left: Night Swimmer II,

Leo Kenney, a major figure in contemporary Northwest Art,
is considered a Northwest master. His work is exhibited in museums and galleries
in the Northwest and nationally, including the Seattle Art Museum, Foster
White Gallery, Port Angeles Art Center, and the Willard Gallery in New York.
He is part of the second generation of what came to be known as the "Northwest
School" and friend of artists Guy Anderson, Morris Graves, Kenneth
Callahan, Mark Tobey and Richard Gilkey. This will be the first major retrospective
exhibition of his work since 1973. Mr. Kenney, now 75 years old, lives in
Seattle.
This exhibition and accompanying color catalog was funded
in part with grants from The Allen Foundation for the Arts, Osberg Family
Trust, Washington State Arts Commission, Washington Women's Foundation,
Marshall Hatch and many other individual donors.
