�REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT AND
DIRECTOR
For nine months ending December 31, 1933
HE adoption of our new By-laws at the_last annual meeting changed the closing date of our fiscal year to coincide
with that of the calendar. This report, therefore, covers
a duration of only nine months. It also stands in marked contrast to my previous ones in the fact that I can at last speak
of our service to the community in terms of the present tense.
I am indeed glad to be able to say that in most respects the
aspirations of our organization have been realized or even surpassed. Last year we were busy preparing for our coming
responsibilities. The City Contract had to be drawn, our Bylaws had to be re-written, our bookkeeping system had to be
revised our collections had to be catalogued and, what is far
more i~portant, the future needs which our organization would
impose on the building had to be determined. With all of these
points time alone proves success or failure. I am indeed thankful th~t we can now truthfully say that no essential point has
been uncovered to require any marked revision of these basic
plans.
T
The building especially has more than fulfilled our hopes in
combining beauty and convenience. For the attainment of
this success we again express our appreciation of Bebb and
Gould for their valuable cooperation. In any project however,
there are bound to be a few flies in the ointment and the largest
of them, I am glad to say, we expect to be able to remove during
the next few months. Although it over-emphasizes the point by
giving it initial prominence in my report, while I am now referring to the building, I will state that we are having the stone
of the facade on either side of the entrance replaced this spring.
This very bothersome and expensive action was demanded by
the fact that, when the stone was set during the cold spell last
winter, the foreman in charge placed rock salt in the lifting holes
to avoid the danger of having water freeze in them and break
the stone. By this precaution, he inadvertently signed the death
warrant of these blocks, for the attraction of atmospheric moisture by the deliquescent salt would eventually cause the local
disintegration of any rock. If the replacement is postponed for
several years, the contrast between the new and old stone will
[4]
always spoil the simple beauty of the exterior. In consequence,
this major operation is destined to happen in the near future. _
After this digression, we once more turn to last spring. One
responsibility always seems to lead to another. The necessity
of keeping the building clean and of avoiding excessive wear
and tear on the floors demanded that the approaches to the
entrances should be paved. Stone flagging was the only appropriate paving for the main entrance, while asphalt was
needed for the service entrances at either end. Since the Park
Board lacked funds to satisfy the latter of these essential requirements, the building fund had to take care of that addi- tional expense. The beauty of the facade required a very careful consideration of the planting. With the cooperation of Mr.
Carl F. Gould and Mr. Noble Hogson, we decided on a scheme
which we consider admirable as a setting for the building and,
at the same time practical both from the standpoint of permanence and upke~p. And in this landscaping, we wished to
feature with suitable importance, the additional pieces of monumental Chinese sculpture which Mrs. Eugene Fuller presented
to us as companions for the magnificent pair of early Ming
camels. To illuminate the approach and, at the same time, to
enhance the beauty of the building when it is open in the
evening, we had flood lights installed at either end of the lawn.
For their generous assistance in the finishing touches to the
building, I wish to thank Mrs. John C. At.wood,. Jr., for the
beautiful wrought iron gates by Samuel Yellm which play such
an important decorative part in the garden court, and the
Seattle Garden Club for its generous monetary gift for the
purchase of the palms. Owing to the kind interest of Mrs. Alexander McEwan we have to thank the Washington State Society
for the Conser~ation and Preservation of Wild Flowers and
Tree Planting for the Cedars of Lebanon which stand at either
end of the building.
Due to the numerous minor delays which occur with the completion of almost every building, 'we were unable to move our
organization from its offices in the Henry Building to the
Museum until the month of May. Even then, our installation
of material had to be postponed for several weeks by a few
final changes that were required by some - of the sub-contractors.
With this late start, it was only with the most strenuous effort
on the part of the entire staff that we succeeded in completing
[5]
�maintenance of this service which has, so far, proven most satisfactory. Upon inquiry from the leading museum authorities, I
learned that, according to eastern precedent, a building of our
size should demand five guards but, from my amateur outlook
that number necessitated far too great a burden on the City,
and, at the same time, would have failed to express the confidence that we have in the integrity of the general population
of this great city. It was, therefore, agreed that two officers
should be assigned to duty at the Museum in order that one
might always be present during open hours while both of them
should be on duty on Saturdays and Sundays when the greatest
throngs visit the building. Although this service is, of course,
unable to give one hundred per cent protection, it has proven
to be most satisfactory from our standpoint and Officers Adams
and Henton, who have been assigned to the position, have proven
most efficient, and, at the same time, courteous and helpful in
their contact with the public.
the installation of our initial exhibits by the evening of our
first preview. The dedication of the building took place at the
band stand in Volunteer Park on the evening of June 29th.
After an informal ceremony at which Mayor Dore and Judge
Donworth spoke in behalf of the city, the Museum was opened
to the public.
We did not, however, ask the City to assume its full obligations until July first, so that the date might coincide with the
semi~annual period. Realizing the responsibility which the City
would then, by contract, be forced to bear, I had previously
endeavored to find a staff of engineers who would be competent
for the maintenance of the finished structure. Since the methods
of lighting and ventilating are unique in the northwest, we were
especially anxious that the city staff should be familiar with all
the many intricacies of the building before the pipes and ducts
were hidden by plaster. We were fortunate in the personnel
which we were able to obtain, and, during the last four months
of the building operations, we employed Mr. E . .L. Aikins whom
we had chosen as a suitable candidate for Chief Engineer, to
be an observer of the completion of the structure in order that
he might be familiar with all phases of his task. As his assistants, we chose Mr. John Weber, who had been a foreman for
the installation of the plumbing and heating in the building,
and Mr. A. B. Faris who was well equipped with general experience and especially so inasmuch as we employed him for
the last two months prior to the delivery of the building. At
that time, we hoped that this staff would be accepted by the
Civil Service, following the precedent established in the delivery
of the street railway. The ruling of the Corporation Counsel,
however, necessitates a formal examination for the ratification
of their positions. Both personally and for the sake of the
city, I sincerely hope that they may successfully meet the requirements and technicalities that are demanded of them, for
it will be difficult to find candidates better qualified both from
the standpoint of training, personality, and integrity.
To relieve the City of any obligation which was also stipulated
in the contract, and, at the same time, to insure an adequate
protection for our collection, an automatic burglar alarm system
was installed in the building through the generosity of Mrs.
Fuller. The organization, on my responsibility, signed a contract with the American District Telegr.a ph Company for the
[6]
Since the critical . time in the life of a plant or shrub comes
in the months immediately following transplanting, and since
a lawn in its initial stage of cultivation demands constant care,
we did not relinquish our responsibility for the landscaping at
the front of the building until the autumn, and, in the meantime, employed the services of a gardener in order that, with
the beginning of the rainy season, our effort might be delivered
to the City at a standard which we trust will always be maintained. At this time, we wish to thank the Park Department
for the excellent landscaping which has been done at either end
of the building under the direction of Mr. Umlauff and Mr.
Haskell.
I
l
The city thus relieves us of the heavy responsibility of maintaining the building and the landscaping, but as I have previously emphasized, the complete success of the Museum must
be measured largely by the degree to which it becomes a vital
force in the community. For this essential factor, we have to
rely principally on the staff of our organization. The many
activities demanded by the opening of the building obviously
required an increase in our personnel. In preparing for our
duties, we added three members to our staff; Miss Jean Black
as librarian, Mrs. Coe V. Malone as a secretarial assistant, and
Mr. Earl Fields as a part-time assistant to aid in the handling
of exhibits.
(7]
�Our attention was first focussed on the arrangement and
labeling of the exhibits, so that the material selected for display
might serve its full purpose, both from an artistic and educational standpoint, while, at the same time, the books had to be
organized and catalogued so that the library might be immediately available as a source of reference material. After the
extreme effort necessitated by the opening, the duties of the staff
were by no means completed. The information desk at the
entrance, as well as the library, required constant supervision;
the need of increasing our membership required additional attention; the policy of changing the exhibits monthly increased
the administrative details, as well as the actual work of arranging the displays. The store-room had to be organized so that the
permanent material for changing the exhibits might be easily
available. The lantern slides had to be catalogued and labeled.
and the additional thousands of small reproductions for lending had to be carefully matted. Our success in meeting these
many and varied duties has been due to the enthusiastic cooperation of the staff. In this regard, I especially want to acknowledge
the able assistance of Mrs. Albert 0. Foster and Mr. Kenneth
Callahan.
Prior to the dedication of the Museum, the Board had to make
the important decision as to the hours during which the building should be open . . These, in broad terms, had been stipulated
in the civic contract, and, in conformance with this, we finally
determined to have it open to the public free on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, reserving Wednesdays and
Fridays for the members in order to offer some tangible advantage for their generous assistance in our work and in order
also to give them the privilege of seeing the exhibits when the
galleries were less crowded. It was decided that from Tuesday
to Friday, the hours should be from 10 :00 to 5 :00, on Saturday, 10 :00 to 6 :00, on Sundays and holidays from 2 :00 to 6 :00,
with the exception of Christmas and Thanksgiving. To permit the facilities of the Museum to be within reach of the
greatest numbers, we adopted the innovation of having the
building open on Monday evenings from 7 :00 until 10 :00, while
for the rest of the day, in conformance with a well established
tradition, it would be closed for general cleaning and servicing
of the galleries. This experiment has proven most satisfactory.
Our attendance during · the first weeks was greater than the
capacity of the building so that the doors, at times, could be
[8]
I
"'
+
opened only at fifteen minute intervals. This, however, was to
be expected, considering the publicity which the opening of a
civic institution is bound to attain, and the idle curiosity which
is sure to have developed among those who have witnessed the
gradual growth of the structure. In our estimation, the important fact is that our attendance has continued to be a source
of satisfaction, testifying thereby to the success which we are
attaining in making the museum a living factor in the life of
our city. Although it has been impossible to keep an accurate
count of the numbers on the most crowded days, it has been
estimated on a basis that is apparently conservative, that over
300,000 people visited the galleries during the first six months.
Even at that, however, far too many still think of museums
with the old-fashioned conception of something to be seen once
as a matter of duty rather than as an ever-changing source of
interest and education.
In each month of the first six during which we have functioned as a civic institution, we have had almost a complete
change of our exhibits in the occidental wing, which comprises
over a third of our total exhibition area, while we also have
had extensive changes in two of our Oriental galleries. These
changes have formed the occasion for the only social activity
in which our organization has indulged. With each major exhibit, we have had a preview for members. Although these
functions have formed very pleasant events, we at present anticipate discontinuing them during the summer months.
Our opening exhibit featured only material from the Museum's permanent collection, but with each subsequent change,
we have shown one or two of the exhibits which were being
circuited on the Pacific Coast while we also have been varying
the display of our permanent collection. In this respect, I am
glad to say that our numerous facsimiles of paintings and drawings by old and modern masters have more than fulfilled our
hopes as a source of education and inspiration. Each month,
we have attempted to show a large variety and, in our selection, to be as free from prejudice as possible so as to show the
finest of both classic and modern art. In doing so, we cannot
even hope to please all tastes, and, in fact, I must confess that
there are . times when we are not in complete sympathy with
the selection of some of the material that is being circuited, but
that is something that one seldom knows until the exhibit is
unpacked. The divergence of taste, however, is always a point
[9]

of interest and .a subject which I hope we can persuade the
entire public to view with a greater tolerance than some are
now inclined to do.
One of the important functions of any art museum is the
stimulation of local talent. For this reason, the Northwest
Annual Exhibition is always a subject of keen interest to many.
The selection of material for such .a n exhibition entails a heavy
responsibility. It is only natural that for judgment we should
turn to professionals of proven attainment, even though their
standards fail, at times, to coincide with those of the general
public. Last autumn, we were especially fortunate in having
Lloyd Rollins, former director of the San Francisco museums
as our Chairman, and the jury included Lydia Herrick Hodge,
Oregon sculptress, Kenjiro Nomura, Seattle painter, and winner
of first place in oil at the Eighteenth Northwest Annual, Viola
Patterson, Seattle painter and teacher of the University Extension Painting Class, and Walter Reese, instructor in art
at the Cornish School and member of the Board of the Seattle
Art Museum. Once again, we wish to acknowledge gratefully
the annual award from the West Seattle Art Club in memory
of Katherine B. Baker. This year, it was classed as a Purchase
Prize so that the Museum now benefits by having Morris Graves'
''Moor Swan' ; as an accession to its permanent collection. I
also wish to thank the Music and Art Foundation for the fifty
dollars which they presented as the award for second place in
oil. This prize went t() William Har()ld Smith. The other monetary awards which were presented by the Seattle Art Museum
were won by Miss Florence Harrison for first place in watercolor, Peter Camfferman for second place in watercolor, Kamekichi Tokita, third place in oil, and Halford Lembke for
first place in sculpture.
In increasing the appreciation of our exhibits, Mrs. Young
has been of inestimable value in the very popular gallery lectures which she is delivering twice a week. In fact, her educational work has continued to be one of the most important
factors in the life of our organization. Her story hours for
children every Saturday morning have made the y()unger generation realize that art can be a source of both recreation and
education. The seeds which she is now sowing I believe should
be of the utmost value in the development of our community.
In addition to her work in the museum, Mrs. Young has also
br()ught the knowledge of our activities to many outside insti[10]
tutions. Since this phase of our service has been developed
solely through the initiative of Mrs. Young, it is only appropriate that I should call on her presently to report on her very
varied services.
Another phase of our activities which has bee~ most en·couraging is the interest which has b~en ar.()used i:r;i the Art
Museum Study Guild under the splendid chairmanship of Mrs.
Jesse J ohns()ll. In the autumn, they adopted a cours? of Orien~al
studies featuring the entire scope of Chinese art m successive
meetin~s, lasting through the spring. These meetings have taken
place on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, and have
had an average attendance of over a hundred. Each subject is
presented by members of the Guild who, with di~igent study,
have equipped themselves for that task, or by outside lecture:s
who have very kindly given the Guild the benefit of their
knowledge.
I want to express my gratitude to Mrs. Reginald H. Parsons
for her very generous contribution to the museum of a fund
of $600, $100 of which was to be applied to our extensive purchases of slides, while the remainder was to be used as a fund
to pay for the services of visiting lecturers. This enabled us,
in the autumn to have the privilege of bringing to Seattle Dr.
Guenther Roeder, who delivered the initial lectures in our auditorium on two consecutive days. The first lecture was on
medieval towns in Germany, and the second on excavations
which he had been supervising at the site of the ancient Egyptian city ()f Hermopolis. Both of these lectures were free to
members while a nominal fee was charged to non-members. Our
Sunday ~fternoon lectures were not started until the month of
November. Then, through the generous cooperation of local
speakers, we had a series of six l~ctures ~hich were open t? the
public without charge. For this verJ'." n~p()rtant. educat10nal
service our auditorium has proven quite ideal, aside from the
fact that there have been times when its capacity was far too
limited.
The library has been very well established under the care of
Miss Jean Black. It now contains over 1100 reference books
which permit it to answer the needs of the public jn allll:os~ all
phases of art. Although it has been used extensn:ely,. it is .a
part of our activity of which I hope that the public will avail
themselves more in the future. Its stack room houses our ex[11]
�tensive collection of small mounted reproductions and slides
which we u.se for lending to schools and to the v.axious cultural
groups of the city. It may interest you to know that over
3000 reproductions are now available for this service, while our
collection of slides exceeds two thousand. .At this time it is
also important to record that we are equipped with the best of
projectors, both for slides and opaque material, as well as with
a sixteen millimeter moving picture projector for our educational films, of which we now have 56 reels. Most of these are
from the Metropolitan Museum of .Art and from the Boston
Museum of Fine .Arts and were taken to show the technique of
various arts and crafts.
One of the most important factors in our success during the
past year has been due to the publicity which the papers have
b~en kind .enough to give to our activities. In this regard, I
wish especially to acknowledge the cooperation of the Seattle
Times and The Town Crier. The success of our publicity has
been largely due to the energy and interest of my assistant,
Mr. Kenneth Callahan. We have felt that the weekly column
which he has written for both of these publications have been
far more valuable to us in the number of potential readers than
the publication of any bulletin could possibly be. We have,
therefore, confined our notices to our members to a monthly
double card which records briefly our exhibits and lectures
for the coming month. We did, however, during the summer,
go to the expense of publishing an illustrated brochure of the
building, which should satisfy the demands of those who wish
a niore permanent record of their visit.
I am glad to say that, during the nine months which this
report covers, our membership increased from 217 members to
587. In spite of the fact that the opening of the building would
have formed an opportune occasion for an extensive membership drive, we did not feel that the times were auspicious for
such an attempt. The funds from this source have been augmented by the receipt of over $750 from entrance fees on
Wednesdays and Fridays, but the total sum is sufficient to cover
only a little over a third of our current needs. The other necessary expenses had to be met by the donors of the building.
.Although we. are most grateful for the generous support which
we have received, our membership list is still very insignificant
in length when it is compared with that of similar organizations in other cities of our size. I sincerely hope that this growth
[12]
of our numbers will continue and trust that, as our fellow
citizens become awakened to the important service which our
organization is rendering to the community, more will wish to
participate in the responsibilities and privileges of membership.
Many museums, both here and abroad, are intended primarily
as sources of reference material. In that respect, they may be
of world importance and yet have an almost negligible influence
on the life of their communities. There are many factors that
contribute to this failure-some organizations are situated in
inconvenient or unsightly locations ; others are hampered by oldfashioned, palatial buildings .which, owing to their monumental
characteristics and poor lighting, fail to lend themselves to the
exhibition of material. Many museums are handicapped by inconvenient cru;es of such dimensions that they seldom permit
the arrangement of attractive displays. It may sound paradoxical to say that possibly the worse enemy to success lies in
an overabundance of material so that, in spite of the importance
of the individual items, the visitor is left principally with a
feeling of fatigue. .An organization is indeed fortunate in coming into existence at this late date, for, in spite of the fact that
it may start life without a wealth of material, that discrepancy
can be more than over-balanced by the opportunity of avoiding
these pitfalls that have been proven by the experience of others.
.A museum is all too seldom considered in terms of the original
meaning of the word. The ancient Greeks conceived of it as
a temple of the muses, and, as such, primarily as a source of
inspiration. In our present civilization, however, it has, as a
rule, been considered as a relatively static repository for collections, rather than as a factor in the actual life of the community. To be successful in influencing the public, a museum
must also be a source of recreation, for it is on that charactertistic that its attendance largely depends, but to build a firm
foundation for inspiration, it must also be a source of education. These three characteristics to which I have often referred,
form our essential purpose. I trust that, in this first year of
our full activity, we may have succeeded in awakening our
fellow citizens to the fact that art can fulfill these three fundamental purposes, and that to many it can speak more eloquently
than words of the history and culture of foreign lands .
[13]
�. An announcement that belongs more truly to the report of
1934 is the fact that Mrs. Albert 0. Foster resigned from the
staff at the end of February, owing to her retirement from professional work. In her place, Miss Ilo Carey is the secretary to
the Director. In the seven years that Mrs. Foster has been with
our organization, it has gone through many evolutionary
changes. Much of our success in meeting the increasing responsibilities has been directly due to her constant display of initiative, energy, and tact. I am sure that the many members who
know her will join with me in expressing their sincere regret
that we should lose such an integral part of our organization.
E. FULLER,
President and Director.

�REPORT OF EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
FOR 1933
To the Board of Trustees and Members
of the Seattle Art Museum:
The educational Department outlined a definite program last
year, the primary object being to create an appreciation for the
fine arts and to acquaint the public with the Museum and its
contents.
Since April 1st of last year, two hundred and thirty-one talks
have been given outside the Museum, eighty-six of these to the
schools of Seattle and towns near by, thirty-eight talks to Chapters of the Delphian Society, a study group, and fourteen to
Music and Art Units. Forty-one · of these talks have been given
in the evening.
Prior to the opening of the Museum every opportunity was
taken to go before clubs, societies and schools to describe the
Museum, explain its functions and offer its services. The results
show that Seattle is awake to these privileges. A complete list
of groups addressed is attached to this report, but I mention a
few at random to show how varied they are: Churches, Parent
Teacher Associations and Art Chairmen, Federated Clubs,
Nurses, Business Clubs for men as well as women, Sorority
Alumni, Improvement Clubs, Field Houses, School for the Deaf
and Dumb, Florence Crittenton Home, and Plymouth Church
girls' groups.
In addition to these talks a radio talk has been given once
a week over KOMO and several talks over KJR and KOL. These
are discontinued temporarily and will be resumed as soon as
new arrangements can be made.
Docent service, or gallery tours, have been given every Tuesday and Friday afternoon. A talk in the auditorium has preceded the Friday tour. Docent service, given by appointment,
other than on those two afternoons number fifty-eight, nine of
these on Monday evenings.
It has been my privilege to see, perhaps more closely than
anyone else, the results on the community of the gift of this
Museum. Our hope last year was that we would have a fine
attendance daily in the galleries. It has been far more than
just attendance. The word has gone from thousands of school
[17]
�children into homes. The parents have discussed the Museum
and what it has so freely given them with their families and
friends. From the towns near by parents and children have
come and have taken back to their communities word of this
experience.
The most constructive work has been in connection with the
schools. I have been called to describe the exhibits and tell the
children what to expect and enjoy before they are sent to visit
the Museum in classes. The teachers were taken through the
galleries in groups early in the fall that they might be prepared
to discuss the material with the children. The results are
marked in the intelligent appreciation of our Museum by children and parents.
Our Saturday morning children's story hour has been most
successful. The auditorium is nearly filled, we average more
than one hundred and fifty children each time. Moving pictures, slides and post cards are used to illustrate the talks and
stories. The children are taken into the galleries and a few
exhibits discussed. It has been a delight to me to find the same
children attending week after week and sometimes bringing
their mothers and fathers with them.
Through Dr. Fuller's generosity, many new films have been
obtained from the Metropolitan Museum and hundreds of slides
and colored r eproductions have been added to our collection.
These have all been used by this department and have been
loaned to the public.
It was my privilege to visit a number of Museums in the East
this summer and to inspect their educational departments. It
was most gratifying to learn that we had already been covering
the ground in the same manner and that far greater personal
contacts had been made than are attempted by them.
I wish to express my appreciation for the generous assistance
given me by Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Malone and Miss Black without
which this program could not have been carried on.
In all of this work the service of the Art Museum has been
stressed, its functions and connection with the City explained,
and an invitation to visit it and become members extended. It
is iny most earnest belief that our community is ready to enjoy
this gift and use it in ·its fullest capacity.
MRS. A. M. YoUNG,
Educational Chairman.

�FULLER COLLECTION
Oriental Material
A small part of the Fuller Collection, including a few of its
major items, was presented to our organization several years ago.
With the opening of the building, this gift was augmented by
the bulk of the most important material in that collection totaling in all some seventeen hundred items. Although this' collection is principally Chinese in its scope, it also has attempted to
present a slight conception of the art of Japan, as well as a few
of the high-lights of India and Indonesia.
The jade collection of over two hundred fifty pieces probably
forms the outstanding item. Most of the carvings are Chinese
in origin. Although they range in age from the Chou Dynasty
(eleventh to third century, B. C.) to the Ch'ing Dynasty (seventeenth to twentieth century), they emphasize principally the
art of the eighteenth century. The standard of the collection is
based solely on the design, technical perfection, and the cultural significance of the individual items, and not on the quality
or the size of the stone.
The historical development of ceramic art is illustrated by
over one hundred forty pieces, dating . from the Han Dynasty
(third century, B. C., to third century, A. D.) to the Ch'ing
Dynasty. The potteries of the early periods and the decorative
wares of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are the two
phases most fully represented. The later ceramic art is also
demonstrated in a very important collection of over four hundred fifty snuff bottles and ninety snuff saucers of the eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries. This collection also contains
examples of most of the very varied artistic expression of that
period.
Fifteen ·pieces of Chinese stone sculpture, which were also
part of the gift, include important ·examples of Buddhistic sculpture, dating from the Northern Wei Dyll'asty (fifth century) to
the latter part of the T'ang Dynasty (ninth century), and eight
examples -0f tomb sculpture which play an important part in the
architecture of the building. The latter consist of a pair of tigers
from the tomb of a Sung General ~f the twelfth century; a pair
.of camels from the tomb of the third son -0f Emperor Yung Lo
(early fifteenth century) ; a pair of rams of approximately
[22]
the same age ; and a Manchu warrior and civil -0fficer of the
seventeenth or eighteenth century.
A set of palace furniture of exceptionally fine cinnabar lacquer
includes eight arm chairs, one central table, four small tables,
four wall panels, and a ten-panel screen. The wall panels are
dated as made in the year 1741, and possibly are a slightly later
addition to the original set. Landscapes and flowers form the
principal motive for the decoration. The collection also includes
one of the imperial teakwood thrones, with its original cushion.
The collection is relatively weak in painting and has only a
few fine examples of the graphic art of China fr-0m the fourteenth to eighteenth century. It also, however, contains two
antique frescoes in the style of the Sung Dynasty (tenth to
thirteenth century) . The textiles of the Ch 'ing Dynasty are more
representative and include about ninety items, of which the
most important is a pair of imperial Ro'ssu hangings of the
eighteenth century.
Aside from these specific collections, individual items or small
groups of objects fill gaps in the historical development and show
a large variety in both the crafts and artistry of successive
periods. Many of these objects are individually of major importance and permit the permanent material of the Museum to
illustrate the essential steps in the cultural history of China.
The art of Japan is represented principally by a very good
collection of nearly three hundred fifty netsukes, which are
chiefly the product of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. A characteristic expression of the art of that country is
also shown by about seventy examples of textiles, which, for the
most part, consist of obis and priest robes of the eighteenth and
nineteenth century. The graphic art is represented mainly by a
few paintings and prints of the same age. A small number of
miscellaneous objects, however, also illustrate the artistry in
various materials. The closely related country of Korea is represented by a small collection of important pottery of the Korai
Dynasty (tenth to fourteenth century).
One of the few examples of Indian art in the collection is
an exceptionally outstanding second century Buddha from the
ancient kingdom of Gandhara, which lay near the present
northern boundary of the country. This seated figure, carved
in schist, represents one of the earliest portrayals of the great
divinity and shows the initial Greek influence which forms the
basis of subsequent conceptions of Buddha in eastern Asia. That
~,
( 23]
�great religion is also the principal motive for the Indonesian
art represented in the collection. The ancient civilization that
once flourished in Cambodia is shown by two important Khmer
sandstone heads of Bodhisattvas of about the twelfth century,
while a characteristic expression of the neighboring country of
Siam is shown by an extensive collection of bronze Buddhistic
heads and figures, ranging in age from · approximately the eleventh to the eighteenth century. An elaborately carved teakwood
house front of the eighteenth century forms the only important
item of Javanese art.
A very unusual and important collection that also deserves
mention is a group of one hundred fine native designs employed
by the tribes of _ Amur region of Siberia. These were selected
the
from a large number which were procured by Ivan Lopatin
during many years of ethnographic study of that region.
The collection hardly touches the art of eastern Asia, but that
region is represented, at least geographically, by nearly fifty
ancient glass vessels, most of which were excavated .in Syria and
Palestine. The group includes examples of Phoenician, .Roman,
Greco-Roman, Egyptian, and Persian origin. Individual items
were selected to exhibit various techniques, as well as for both
beauty of shape and brillance of iridescence which they have subsequently acquired with burial. This collection being more truly
occidental in character, has not been exhibited with the Oriental
'
material.

An account of the resource
<p>This collection consists of digitized and born-digital annual reports and other financial and strategic documentation issued by the Seattle Art Museum from the 1930s to the present. Although the museum officially began in 1933, some reports note a longer period of existence -- the 1932/33 report, for example, is subtitled "Twenty-seventh Year." Prior to becoming the Seattle Art Museum, two predecessor organizations existed: the Seattle Fine Arts Society (1905-1917) and then, after merging with the Washington Arts Association (1906-1917), the Art Institute of Seattle (1917-1932).</p>

Annual Reports
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection consists of digitized and born-digital annual reports and other financial and strategic documentation issued by the Seattle Art Museum from the 1930s to the present. Although the museum officially began in 1933, some reports note a longer period of existence -- the 1932/33 report, for example, is subtitled "Twenty-seventh Year." Prior to becoming the Seattle Art Museum, two predecessor organizations existed: the Seattle Fine Arts Society (1905-1917) and then, after merging with the Washington Arts Association (1906-1917), the Art Institute of Seattle (1917-1932).</p>
