Arthur Pearson [8] �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] �/,I I /1;. , I fi,/t /. /I, I ( /f,(/11 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.

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.

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.

Now that we have completed our first full fiscal year in our new building, and have, at last, to a large measure, achieved the goal for which we were striving, our activities, for the most part, might best be recorded in tabulated form. Aside from the routine, however, there are a number of facts of varying importance that need to be mentioned, in order to keep you in touch with the progress of the institution. Building In the first place, I am glad to say that all the final details of the building have been finished. Through the generosity of Mrs. Eugene Fuller and the cooperation of some of the various firms involved, the salt-stained stones on either side of the entrance were replaced during the spring months. At the same time, as a gift from the same source, we paved with concrete the park walk in front of the building. The paving is of extreme importance in keeping the building clean, and, at the same time, avoids the unsightly appearance that resulted from the gullying of the crushed brick surface during the rainy season. At the wise suggestion of the Park authorities, the color of the cement was chosen to match that of the surface coating of the paths throughout the park, and, although the initial shade was slightly too intense, it is gradually attaining almost the desired tone with wear and time. During the summer, the contractors, with the generous cooperation of the Masonite Company, replaced gallery flooring which, unfortunately, had been improperly installed. The present result is perfect, and shows the product to be quite ideal for the purpose. In the spring, Mr. E. L. Aikins, the Chief Engineer, resigned to accept an important industrial position, and, at my suggestion, Mr. A. B. Faris was promoted to fill his place, while Mr. Lee Horner, a man of wide engineering experience, was selected to serve with Mr. John Weber as an assistant. Our organization has increased the equipment of this staff so that it is now able to meet any mechanical emergency that might arise in our highly specialized building. Another phase of our relation with the municipal government is the police protection which was stipulated in the contract. To give the city the utmost cooperation in meeting its financial difficulties, we have permitted it to reduce its obligation to the point of furnishing but one officer during the hours that the building is open. In this respect, I might again remark that our. generosity has been emphasized by the fact that it would require the services of five officers to give the one hundred per cent protection demanded by eastern institutions. As was feared, the reduction in supervision has coincided with a few regrettable incidents, which, under the circumstances, of course, bear no criticism of the efficient and courteous service of Officer Forlefer, who is now in charge. During the past year, some of the evergreens which we planted in front of the building have failed to accustom themselves to their new environment. In view of this fact, we have agreed to assist the Park Department in replacing these plants in the coming spring, and trust that we may thus at last attain that quiet perfection which we consider to form the ideal foreground for the austere beauty of the facade. We are very glad to have the cooperation of Mr. Umlauff and Mr. Haskell in trying to achieve our desired results, although, in the past year, they have been somewhat hampered by enforced economies of the Park Department. Exhibitions The Civil Service fortunately decided to leave the engineering staff in its present status quo. The decision not only is very pleasing to our organization, but is of great value to the City, for with experience, the engineering staff has gradually achieved many economies in the expense of heating, ventilating and lighting, so that the total cost of maintenance has been reduced by approximately 10%. So far as the exhibits are concerned, we have continued our policy of trying to make the Museum an ever-changing source of interest, rather than a static repository. To attain variety, we have made a number of complete changes of the display in some of our Oriental galleries. This system of circulation has necessitated the temporary confinement of important material to storage, but it permits the objects then to emerge with fresh interest. To a small measure, it reflects the ideals of the Far East, inasmuch as it endeavors to prevent the visitor from being surfeited with more than he can absorb. In the northern wing, which is confined largely to the art of the occidental world, we have had eleven almost complete changes in the course of the year. Each month, we have been taking advantage of one or more of the traveling exhibitions which are 4 s Municipal Cooperation �being circulated throughout the institutions on the Coast. For our classic art, we have continued to rely largely on our own extensive collection of facsimiles of paintings and drawings. I take a great deal of pleasure in expressing our appreciation of the privilege that we have enjoyed in exhibiting important collections that have been lent to us by some of our fellow citizens. I wish especially to stress the excellent collection of 18th Century W edgwood, which was lent us by the late Mr. Vivian M. Carkeek and Mrs. Carkeek, and the fine examples of classic etchings which Mrs. C. D. Stimson and the late Manson F. Backus permitted us to select from their important collections. Mrs. John L. Pratt, of Chatham of Fredericksburg, Virginia, also favored the Museum by lending it, for an indefinite period, some very outstanding examples of 17th and 18th Century lace. As usual, the most important item in the encouragement of local talent consisted in our Exhibition of Northwest Artists. This autumn, our organization passed a milestone by sponsoring our Twentieth Annual. The fact that we had nearly eight hundred entries in painting and sculpture testifies to the interest which this event aroused. The increase in number was due to the fact that many organizations throughout the Northwest cooperated with us in compiling the list of artists, thereby permitting our invitations to reach most of the outstanding talent in the four states, as well as in British Columbia. We once again take pleasure in thanking the West Seattle Art Club for contributing the purchase prize of $100, in the memory of Katherine B. Baker, and also the Music and Art Foundation for the $50 prize which they donated as a reward for meritorious work in any medium. The former award brought to our permanent collection an oil painting by Ambrose Patterson; while the latter was won by Drusilla Albert for an entry in sculpture. The other monetary prizes which the Museum donated were won by Henriette English, first prize in water color, and Louis Demott Bunce, of Portland, second prize in oil. This year, Mr. J. Vanderpant, noted photographer of Vancouver, B. C., was the chairman of our jury. From Oregon, we had the services of Mr. Charles Heaney, Portland artist, while Seattle was represented by Mr. Walter Isaacs, artist and professor of the University of Washington; Mr. William Harold Smith, artist; and myself, as Museum Director, in an ex-officio capacity. Last winter two members of our staff served on the Public Works of Art Committee for the State of Washington. At the close of that project, which rendered such great assistance to many of the artists, our institution exhibited some of the work that was then available. At that time, we were permitted to retain some of the items that were not intended for a specified purpose. We selected twelve works, 6 ~ I for which we assumed custody. Aside from this unusual opportunity of assisting in the encouragement of local talent, we c?~tinued. our policy of inviting an artist each month to have an exhibit of his or her work. In the medium of graphic art, we have had the good fortune of becoming affiliated with the Northwest Printmakers. Their exhibit last spring attained a high standard and included the work of a number of the leading national artists, as well as our local talent. A mutual benefit results from the fact that the Museum is the repository for the prints that are selected for the ~ward. o.f purchase prizes. We look forward with pleasure to this exhibit being an annual event on our calendar. During the first week of June, we were glad to offer our facilities to the Pacific Arts Association for its annual meeting and also for an exhibition which it sponsored, showing the work of the various public and professional schools and colleges of ~he Pacifi~ C?ast. The meeting, which was well attended, took place m the audit~num, while the exhibition filled the entire north wing for the duration of ten days. Aside from this special instance, our Study Gallery }las also permitted us to be of service to numerous schools and orgamzations. Each month, throughout the year, it has been used to show the work of some local group. It has been of great assistance in stimulating their members by giving them an opportunity of comparison, as well as the chance of gaining public recognition. Accessions , I I .. I It is a great honor to acknowledge the b~quest of the late M:s. Willis B. Herr, of the sum of $1000, to be mvested as a memorial to her husband, who formerly served on the Board of th~ Fine Ar~s Society. We were very fortunate in being able to acquire for t?is precise amount, an exceptionally fine classic bronze beaker, which dates from the early part of the Chou Dynasty, about three thous~nd years ago, and thus fills an important gap in our Chi?ese coll~c~i~m. Its world importance, which has already been recogmzed by visitmg connoisseurs, guarantees the fact that it will always be cherished, while its size is sufficiently small to permit its convenient display. As a fitting companion for this piece, our organization obtained an excellent example of a bronze sacrificial vessel ( chueh) of the same period, in exchange for some duplicate materia~ .. The art of this early period has also been illustrated by the addit10n of a few ~x­ amples of the ceremonial jades of the Chou and Han Dynasties. The collection of Chinese ceramics has been augmented by a few specimens from each of the principal dynasties, from the potteries of the Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the Christia? era, to .the decorated porcelains of the 18th Century. Our collect10n of pamtings received much needed strengthening by the addition of a num- 7 �ber of larger paintings of the Ming and Ching Dynasties, dating principally from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, as well as four large fragments of Ming temple frescoes. Mr. Winfield McLean, of Tacoma, presented us with a book of late 18th Century wood blocks, reproducing artists' sketches of various phases of nature. Over sixty of these have been matted and thereby made available for exhibition. In the field of sculpture, the Chinese collection acquired its most notable addition of the year. This consists of the torso of one of the finest of the classic sandstone Bodhisattvas, which has been taken from a seventh century cave temple at Tien Lung Shan. In this rare phase of sculpture, the Indian influence is quite pronounced. During the past year, our collection of Japanese art has been strengthened principally in th~ examples of the wo~k of the Y edo period. Through the cooperat10n of Mr. J. D. Atkmson, we were able to acquire a representative collection of lacquer of the 18th and early 19th century. The examples are very suitable for museum display, for, aside from their artistry, many of th~m have the added interest of being in complete sets that reflect various aspects of the life of the period. In ceramics, the collection was augmented by a few fine examples of wares of the 17th, 18th and early 19th century. The most important of these were intended as sculptural ornaments. The artistry of Japanese prints is shown by a comprehensive collection of seventy examples, which were selected from some of the finest recent publications of the classic antique prints. Although these Jack the monetary value of the original editions, their accuracy renders them almost indistinguishable when considered as works of art. The originality of the race is also excellently illustrated by the variety of beautiful designs depicted in a collectio.n of over ~fty antique stencils which have been used for the decoration of textiles. In the field of sculpture, the Museum acquired a large lacquer figure of a Buddha, with the original lotus throne and nimbus, dating from the early part of the 18th Century. Our Buddhistic sculpture was strengthened by a set of four small fi~ures representing the g1:1ardians of the Four Quarters of the Umverse. They form except10nally vigorous examples of the more florid work of the late 16th or early 17th Century. The Museum also acquired over twenty Japanese kakemonos, most of which consist of ink drawings by the nature loving artists of the Kano School and date from the 15th to the 17th Century. A fine example of a temple painting depicting the death of Buddha and a set of three decorative panels remounted from the interior of an 18th Century shrine were the gift of Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson. · Our collection of Indian and Indonesian art has received only three additions. S. and G. Gump Company, of San Francisco, pre- 8 ') sented the Museum with a rare architectural pottery ornament from a Siamese Buddhistic temple of approximately the 14th Century. Our Indonesian art was also strengthened by the addition of a sandstone seated figure of Ganesha, the elephant-headed Hindu god, but in this field, our most important accession consists of a Cambodian sandstone head and shoulders of a dancing figure. This item, which is Khmer or earlier, and dates from approximately the 9th Century, was obtained in part in exchange for one of our Cambodian sandstone heads. These various accessions, except where otherwise stated, have been additions to the Fuller Collection, which the Museum already owns. During the past year, when current values permitted, advantage has been taken of some of the opport1:1nitie~ of add~ng to the collection those objects which were needed. m fillmg gaps m. the historical sequence of China and Japan and which, at the sa1:1e time, were considered to have the requisite artistic merit. The objects, of course are not all of equal importance, some being included to furnish material that could enhance the decorative effect of the galleries with the successive ch3:nges of exhibit~ons. Whe.re possible, it is intended to follow the policy of exchangmg material that has been superseded, whenever the opportunity arises of thus acquiring some individual object of greater importance. In occidental art a vital gap in our collection has been met by the receipt of a bronz; facsimile of "Mercury in ~epose," th~ original of which was excavated at Herculaneum and is now a prized possession of the Naples Museum. For this accession, which represents one of the finest phases of the Greek tradition, we give thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Osgood and Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Griffiths. Otherwise our accessions in the field of the classics have been confined to the addition of a few of the current publications of the facsimiles of paintings which, as usual, have been mounted for gallery exhibition. In contemporary art, we have benefited by the Public Works of Art Project, by receiving from the New York division, a "Sandstone Head of a Negro Boy," by Edna Guck, and oil paintings by Jan Matulka and. Vincent Canade, as well as .five prints. As I have previously ment10ned, we are also the cus~odians for two sculptures and nine paintings from our local project. In addition to these, we have acquired some important examples of the contemporary print makers. Educational Activities To many of the uninitiated, bitions lies in the lecture tours cult for me to overemphasize which she continues to do for the full enjoyment of these e~hi­ of Mrs. Young. It would be diffimy enthusiasm for the fine work us, both by her instruction at the 9 �Museum and by her lectures to the numerous groups and schools throughout Seattle and the many other communities in the Puget Sound district. The endless demands for her service give eloquent testimony to her popularity and success. In order to lighten the increasing burden which she has assumed in recent years, I am anxious for her to confine her efforts principally to the larger groups. Now that her personal contacts and radio addresses have brought the knowledge of our activities to so many, I hope to see more and more of her audience coming to the Museum and there having the additional opportunity of enjoying the exhibitions to their full measure. I am leaving the details of this very valuable service to Mrs. Young's own report. Study Guild One of the most gratifying phases of our activity of the past year has been the initiative shown by the members of the Art Museum Study Guild, under the continued leadership of Mrs. Jesse Charles Johnson. To insure permanence of purpose, it drew up its own constitution and by-laws, placing the organization under the guidance of a self-perpetuating Board of seven trustees, one of whom is chosen from the Board of Trustees of the Museum, while the others, after the organization is once established, are limited to a three-year term of office. The group thus forms an organization that promises to be a lasting factor in the life of the Museum. Last winter, their meetings were in the morning of the first and third Tuesdays of each month. With their new program in the autumn, however, the increased interest which their activities aroused, encouraged them to have afternoon meetings, as well as those in the morning. This year, their meetings have been devoted to three subjects, namely Japanese Art, Paintings of the Renaissance, and Graphic Art. For the convenience of the members, the program was printed on a small enough form to be easily carried. In the regular meetings, which have been excellently attended, the program has been strictly adhered to, and, under its able chairmanship, a remarkably high standard of punctuality has been attained. The members of the Guild have not merely been interested in gleaning knowledge, but in giving actual service to the Museum. They have assisted Mrs. Young, both in docent service for various groups of school children who were brought to the Museum almost daily and even in delivering some of the radio talks. They have also played a very important part in our membership. At the instigation of the Study Guild last spring, we ceased to engage professional solicitors for members. We have depended solely on the enthusiasm of the Guild and on the voluntary assistance of citizens who are gradually awakening to the service which our organization renders IO to the city and to the privileges which its membership brings to the ind~v~dual. This latter point was emphasized in the autumn by a d_e~1s1on of the Board of Trustees to enforce its privileges more ng1dly. Although the work of the Study Guild has resulted in a most gratifying numerical increase in our membership, the financial returns for the year were slightly less than in the preceding nine months. This discrepancy is due to the fact that a number of our active members became delinquent, while most of the new members of the Study Guild accepted the privilege of renewing in the Associate class. Lectures During the course of the year, aside from Mrs. Young's service and the regular meetings of the Study Guild, we had twenty free Sunday lectures and fourteen for our membership, including a University Extension series of ten by Professor Edith Dobie, on the subject of Art and Architecture in Europe. W ith two of these membership lectures, we enjoyed the cooperation of the University of Washington, and had the privilege of using Meany Hall. The Department of Drama was our co-sponsor for "The Interpretation of the Javanese Theatre," by Hubert J. Stowitts; while the Department of Art joined us in presenting Lorado Taft in his lecture on " One Hundred Masterpieces of Sculpture-Greek to Modern." Although the lectures in both instances had excellent attendance and were unquestionably a marked stimulation to our membership, the box office receipts met only a small portion of the expense involved. Fortunately, however, we can thank Mrs. Reginald H. Parsons for the fact that the deficits were covered by her Lecture Fund: We also take pleasure in thanking the speakers who so kindly contributed their services by delivering Sunday lectures. Library It should be emphasized that relatively few of our fellow citizens are aware of the advantages which our library offers to the public. The library now contains over 1400 volumes. The scope of these many works touches almost all fields of art. Their number includes ~ost of the outstanding reference books which have been published m recent years. Many of these are not otherwise available in the city. In addition, the library carries current issues and volumes of a numbe~ of the leading art periodicals. Except for Sunday, it is open durmg the hours of the Museum, but the books are not permitted to be removed from the room. Our lending service is confined to slides and small reproductions. The former now number nearly ~700, while we have over 3700 mounted reproductions, showing, m color, examples of almost all schools of painting. Many of the II �educational institutions and cultural groups throughout this community take advantage of this opportunity, but the field could be greatly enlarged. These various facilities for study and reference are made easily available through the able assistance of our librarian, Miss Jean Black. In closing, I wish to express my deep appreciation of the loyal and efficient cooperation of my fellow members of the staff. This autumn, on my return from my short but educational visit to Japan, I was delighted to find how thoroughly the many details of the organization had been handled during my absence. I also wish to thank those of our fellow citizens who, as members, have helped to encourage and foster our endeavors. I trust sincerely that they have found their membership to be a source of pleasure and pride and not merely another civic duty. Although our influence on many visitors may be superficial, the fact that our attendance for the year certainly approached the official estimate of over a quarter of a million, gives adequate testimony that, to many, the Museum has achieved its full purpose. In this achievement, I wish gratefully to acknowledge the generous cooperation of the press in bringing our activities to the knowledge of the public. RICHARD E. FULLER, President and Director. 12 REPORT OF THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT FOR 1934 To THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF THE SEATTLE ART MUSEUM: The Handbook of Museums declares that the Educational service of a museum should be not merely passive but active, and defines it as a part of the Educational system of the country, and that its duties to the public are threefold: first, to stimulate curiosity which increases knowledge; second, to minister to the sense of beauty; and third, to provide recreation and aesthetic enjoyment. With this rather large order in mind, the Educational Department of the Seattle Art Museum has endeavored, in part at least, to carry out its program. The service to the public has been a direct one; lectures given to clubs and organizations and to the children in public and private schools, gallery talks and tours of the Museum and radio talks. A certain amount of this work is carried out on the same day each month, so the public now recognizes it as a regular service. Each Tuesday and Friday afternoon docent is given. The second Thursday of each month is devoted to Parent Teacher members, at which time an hour's lecture, illustrated with slides and moving pictures, is followed with a tour of the galleries. Radio talks have been given every Wednesday at 10 :30 a. m. over KJR, and on every Tuesday at 1 :15 p. m. over KXA. Members of the Study Guild have assisted very greatly with this program, Mrs. Jesse Johnson, Mrs. Alvin Matzger and Mrs. Charles Musladin speaking in November and December on the Tuesday afternoon broadcasts over KXA. Our Saturday morning Children's Story Hour has had the same splendid attendance it had last year. Meeting in the auditorium at 10 :30 on Saturday mornings, stories are told and often illustrated with slides; moving pictures are shown and talks on painting and sculpture given. A new feature is the "Museum Hunt;" two or three slides are shown on the screen of objects in the Museum, which are described, and the children then go upstairs on a hunt to find the three treasures. Once every month a visit is made to the Florence Crittenden Home where talks are given to supplement the work of the public schools in that institution. From January 1st to December 30th, 289 lectures were given to l3 �clubs and organizations outside of the Museum; 105 of these 'alks were given in the public and private schools, and 38 were made outside of Seattle. Lectures and docent given in the Museum by appointment, other than the regular service mentioned above, were 71 in number. During the year 71 appointments were for the evening, making a total of 360 lectures apart from the regular talks arranged for each month in the Museum. I wish to mention a few of the engagements to show how varied the calls are and to what an extent we endeavor to serve the public. Sorority Alumni groups, Music and Art Units, Delphian Chapters, Field Houses, the School for the Deaf, Negro Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., art students at Ellensburg Normal School, children at the Orthopedic Hospital, Girls' Club of Frederick and Nelson, unemployed groups for six Tuesdays in succession, College of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Mayors of Washington Convention, two classes of summer school students at the University of Washington; a talk given before the Chamber of Commerce which was broadcast, the subject being "The Seattle Art Museum, an Asset to the Northwest,'' and a broadcast for the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Among the 38 appointments for out of town, were lectures given to the Ellensburg Normal School, Women's Club and Schools at Anacortes, Primary Teachers of Bremerton, Portland Art Association at Portland, King County Federation of Women's Clubs at Auburn, Women's Club at Longview, and Washington Educational Association at Bellingham. An arrangement was made with the School Board to have eighth grade pupils brought to the Museum and taken on a tour of the galleries four afternoons a week. In this work I wish to acknowledge most gratefully the splendid help of members of the Study Guild. A committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Brian Wattleworth, was appointed for this service and the following members have taken one or more groups of children through the Museum: Miss Catherine Evans, Mrs. Brian Wattleworth, Mrs. Norman Walker, Mrs. Ford Q. Elvidge, Mrs. Jack Reagh and Mrs. Robert Wegner. Their work has been of the greatest value to the Museum and to the Schools. Through the continued generosity of Dr. Fuller, many new films have been added this year, making a total of 79 reels. As far as I know, this Museum is the only one, other than the Boston and Metropolitan, that owns its machine and films. This visual education has been of inestimable value to both children and adults. 714 new glass slides have been added to our growing collection, amounting to 2697. 672 colored prints, which were purchased this i ' year, makes our total 3707. These reproductions and slides are loaned to the schools and to clubs and are in constant use. In reviewing the year's program, there have been countless occasions when the response by the public has made this work a joyous thing to me, and I know that the Seattle Art Museum has given our community its greatest asset. I gratefully acknowledge the generous assistance given me by Miss Jean Black, Mrs. Coe Malone, and Miss Ilo Carey, without which this program could not have been carried on.

Most of the difficulties and problems that faced our organization a few years ago have been successfully encountered, while the attack on some of the fairly obvious objectives has been postponed until the time and opportunity appear auspicious. It is to be hoped that we will not then be lacking in initiative in advancing the scope of the potential service which we are now so admirably equipped to offer to this community. Municipal Relationship The varied phases of our relationship with the City have been most satisfactory. A Civil Service examination for the engineering staff of the Museum resulted in the appointment of Mr. A. B. Faris as the Museum Custodian, and of both Mr. Lee Horner and Mr. Richard Limerick as the Juniors for that position. This personnel gives the assurance of excellent maintenance of the building. On further consideration, the County Assessor fortunately dropped the claim against the Museum for the property tax to which I took exception last year. The Police Department has still detailed Officer Forlefer as the guard of the Museum. The Park Department, through Mr. Umlauff, has continued to be most cooperative. The fate of some of the junipers which we planted at the fac;ade testifies to the fact that they have not enjoyed their environment, but their sad demise appears to have been unavoidable. The solution of that problem still lies ahead. Although the standards for the judgment of modern art are not widely accepted by the genera! public, there is considerable concurrence of thought in most professional circles. Some of the extreme trends of the day, however, are sure to die; others, in my opinion, are equally sure to gain wide recognition and approval with the passing years. During the last century, so many of the great innovators were condemned by their contemporaries, only to be acclaimed by subsequent generations, that now the critics are often inclined to be possibly too generous in accepting some of the most extreme phases of artistic development of the present day; and yet, like their predecessors, they may well fail to evaluate correctly the work of some of the greatest contributors. In the history of art, the most important achievements of each period are those which are, to a large measure, original in conception. For that reason, we have continued to encourage the creative talent of this community. The Northwest Annual was most creditable, and achieved a standard which was worthy of national recognition. Probably owing to past disappointments, the number of artists submitting their work was less than that in the past two years, while a number of those whose paintings and sculpture were accepted, entered their work for the first time. Although our transient exhibits unquestionably stressed contemporary art, we have succeeded in offering the public a wide variety; in part, thanks to our very comprehensive collection of facsimiles of the paintings and drawings of the great European masters. In fact, each month we endeavour to present such a variety that we are sure to appeal to any with art appreciation, no matter how narrow their field of interest may be. This year, the Seattle entries did not fare so well in the awards. The Katherine B. Baker Memorial Purchase Prize in Oil, of $100.00, which, as usual, was so generously contributed by the West Seattle Art Club, was awarded to David J . McCosh, of the University of Oregon at Eugene, Oregon, for his "Landscape," while the Second Prize, of $50.00, from the Seattle Art Museum, was won by William Fortune Ryan, of Washington State College at Pullman, for his "Still Life." The First Prize in Watercolor, of $75.00, from the same source, went to Herbert Ackley of Portland, Oregon, for his "Negro Girl," while the sculptural prize of $50.00, donated by the Music and Art Foundation, was awarded to Jean Johansen, of Seattle, for her "Figure." The jury for the selection of the paintings and for the awards consisted solely of those with a professional interest in art. The Art Department of the University of Washington was represented by ·Dudley Pratt, Professor of Sculpture, who was the winner of the first award in that medium in the previous year. Mr. Pratt acted as Chairman. The other jurors consisted of Peter M. Camfferman, who won the Second Prize in Oil in the previous year, and Thomas M. Gibson, who had then received an Honorable Mention in Oil. Oregon was represented by Miss Anna B. Crocker, the former Curator of the Portland Art Association, while I, in an ex-officio capacity, represented the Museum. 4 5 Exhibitions �In the summer months, we showed, in three successive exhibits, paintings by Seattle artists whose work had been accepted in the previous Northwest Annual. The other nine months of the year, we had, by invitation, successive one-man shows of Northwest painting. Many of the local artists were also included in the Study Gallery exhibitions of three organizations, namely, the Women Painters of Washington, the Puget Sound Group and the Group of Twelve. During the other months of the year, that gallery was used for exhibiting the work of various schools. The local talent in other artistic mediums gained recognition in our first exhibition of arts and crafts and the print exhibit which is held annually with the cooperation of the Northwest Printmakers. The latter was of real international importance, inasmuch as prints were submitted by prominent European artists, as well as those from all parts of our country. We plan to repeat both of these exhibitions in the coming year. This competition and encouragement is unquestionably an important motive in stimulating the talent of our community. Each month, our calendar has listed five or six temporary exhibitions. Some of these are from our own collection, others from those circuited by the national organizations. In addition, as our exhibition list testifies, we are indebted to various artists and art dealers for their generosity in lending their work or collections. One of our most important events in the past year was an exhibition of Near Eastern art, which was held in the late spring. Through the cooperation of Parish-Watson & Company, of New York, we had the privilege of showing an outstanding collection of early Persian and Mesopotamian pottery, and also from the same source, some important Persian miniatures and a fine Persian textile. Aside from the Museum collection, this exhibition was supplemented with excellent Near Eastern rugs, which were lent by some of our generous friends. A fine collection of Chinese portraits of the Ming Dynasty was exhibited through the courtesy of Yamanaka & Company, of New York. We are also grateful to that same firm for the loan of an excellent collection of fragments of antique Japanese textiles. A well selected group of sculpture and drawings was lent by E. Weyhe, of New York, while the Walker Gallery, of that same city, permitted us to show the drawings and watercolors of Thomas Benton and John Steuart Curry. In the autumn, one of the most popular exhibits was that of the sculpture of Boris Lovet-Lorski, which came to us through the cooperation of S . and G. Gump Company, of San Francisco. At the close of the year, we were indebted to Mrs. Frank H. Holden, of New York, for the exhibition of some of her rare collection of fragments of 18th and 19th Century Toiles. During the early months of the summer, we had the loan of the sculpture of Allan Clark, and also of Alexander Archipenko, while he was instructing at the University of Washington, under the joint sponsorship of that institution and the Seattle Art Museum. 6 7 Accessions No matter what service an art museum can render to its community, its international repute depends principally on the importance of its permanent collection. That importance, in turn, depends largely on the number of its items which are recognized as being supreme examples of some particular phase of art. The early collectors of Chinese and Japanese art had, to a great extent, more material accessible, but they did not have the familiarity with the world standards which have been made possible by the great exhibitions and publications of recent years. Now, if an example win~ expert recognition as the finest of its type, it may well achieve a supremacy that cannot be questioned with the passing years. The limited size of the building gives added incentive to the accession of outstanding individual items that reflect as clearly as possible the artistic feeling of the period which they represent. To my mind, the desired object must be aesthetically beautiful and unquestioned in age, and preferably one that shows the perfect execution of an original conception. The past year has offered to my mother and myself such unexpected opportunities of fulfilling this ideal in rounding out our collection that they could not be refused, in spite of the expense which they entailed. Once more, the principal accessions of the Museum were in the field of Oriental art. Some of our most notable examples came from the exceptionally important exhibition which Yamanaka & Company had in London at the opening of the great Chinese exhibition at Burlington House. The most noteworthy of these are a large landscape painting by Ma Yuan, the great 12th to 13th Century artist of the Sung Dynasty, and a life-size wooden statue of the same period, depicting a Zen priest in very vigorous style. From that source there also came three other important paintings to strengthen a side of our collection which had been previously neglected. In the past autumn, that same firm had an outstanding exhibition of Japanese art in Boston, at the time of the noted Harvard Tercentenary Exhibition at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. There we were able to acquire for the Museum three excellent examples of Japanese wood sculpture of the Kamakura Period (12th-14th Century), namely, the graceful figures of Kwannon and Daiseishi which had originally stood as attendants on either side of a figure of the Amida Buddha. The other example is an especially fine portrayal of the great Prince Shotoku Taishi as a boy. In addition to these, I �from that same exhibition we acquired an unusual pair of 17th Century Japanese screens, decorated with a hundred crows. These, in the near future, will take their place high on the walls of the Garden Court. One especially notable accession in an isolated class is the large Chinese embroidered hanging, which depicts Lao Tzu, the founder of the Taoist religion, on his final traditional ride to Heaven, on the back of a water buffalo. Aside from the artistry shown in the design and the astounding craftsmanship in the execution, this great hanging is remarkable as an historical document, owing to the fact that it bears two inscriptions of poems written for it in 17 52 and 17 53 by Emperor Ch'ien Lung. That noted connoisseur ascribed the piece to the days when the court of the Sung Dynasty occupied its northern capital, or in other words, prior to 1126. Among the other most important additions which filled gaps in our Chinese collection, the earliest consisted of three large bronze masks, which show very strong adaptations of the principal decorative motives of the Shang Yin Dynasty, at some time prior to the 12th Century, B. C. In chronological order, the next piece would be a small bronze ornament, decorated in gold with a conventional design of three birds. This conception shows well the creative talent of the period of the Warring States (5th-3rd Century, B. C.), of which recent archaeological studies are giving us such a vivid picture. Next would be a small group of vigorous pottery of the Han Dynasty (206 B. C.-220 A. D.). The spiritual idealism of the Wei Dynasty is typified by a small Buddhistic figure from a classic 6th Century cave temple at Lung Men. The ceramics of the Sung Dynasty (10th-13th Century) were augmented by a few fine examples, including two exceptional pieces which were presented by Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson. One of these, an "oil spot" bowl of Honan ware, is one of the rarest and most cherished objects of that dynasty. To that period is also attributed a pair of small paintings of swimming fish . The 17th and 18th Centuries are represented by two additional jades and a few ceramics and paintings, which were selected principally for their decorative quality. a Through the kindness of Mrs. Scott Bullitt, we received as gift from the late Mrs. C. D. Stimson, a large Korean glazed pottery jar of the 16th Century. Aside from these accessions from the Far East, the Museum has acquired some other examples of Asiatic art. India is represented only by an 18th Century Rajput painting, de. picting, in a decorative panel, the Hindu god Krishna, as a cow herd. Our previous deficiency in the art of the Near East was partially met by the accession of an 18th Century miniature, a few antique textiles and a fairly comprehensive collection of ceramics, which 8 include good examples of early Mesopotamian and Persian pottery and the decorative Turkish and Syrian wares, and tiles of the 16th and 17th Century. We also received as a gift from the D' Alva Brothers of New York, a collection of fourteen fragments of antique European textiles, representing many of the principal weaves. Mrs. Reginald H . Parsons presented us with a very fine Kashmiri shawl, which was made in India in the 17th or 18th Century. Another collection which is yet to be exhibited is that of twenty-three fragments of English wood panelling, ranging from the Gothic to the early Georgian. Aside from these, the additions to the collection in the field of Occidental art have been principally the work of contemporary artists. The sculpture acquired was that of artists of world renown, and consists of "The Beggar," by Ernest Barlach; "The Bride," by Alexander Archipenko; "Majorcan Girl," by Jose de Creeft, and "Playing Horses," by Hunt Diedrich. The latter was a gift of Mrs. John C. Atwood, Jr., of Philadelphia. As usual, our paintings were acquired principally from local artists. From them, we had twelve additions, aside from the gift of "The Undercut," by Ernest Norling, which was presented by the artist. The most notable paintings which we have acquired are a "Winter. Scene," by Maurice Vlaminck, and "Still Life," by Preston Dickinson. With the exception of "View from Old Homestead Ranch," by Margaret Camfferman, which was purchased from a fund which the Museum had been carrying on its books for some years, and the previously mentioned purchase prize, all of the paintings came as additions to the Fuller Collection. With our collection, we are especially anxious to encourage the creative talent of our own Northwest artists. Lectures During the year 1936, Mrs. Young has borne the brunt of the Sunday lecture series. Owing to my absence from the city during both the early winter and autumn, I gave only three of our twentyone lectures in our winter series, which closed the last week of March, and started again with November. Our attendance at these lectures has been remarkably good, even when the weather has greatly curtailed the number of visitors to the Museum. The only lecturers which the Museum has brought to our community have been Dr. Kewal Motwani, who lectured on "Hindu Ideals in Art"; Mr. Jiro Harada, the noted Japanese authority, who gave a series of five lectures during the first week in May, and Mr. Alexander Archipenko, who lectured on "Creativeness and Style" during his summer session at the University of Washington. In the spring, Dr. Herbert H. Gowen again contributed his services in an 9 �excellent lecture on "Japanese Prints," which was illustrated with slides lent by the Japan Society of New York. At this time, I wish to thank Mrs. Reginald H. Parsons for her gift of three hundred dollars, which augmented the Lecture Fund which she so generously started in the previous year, in memory of her grandfather, Daniel Cogswell. Library During the past year, our library has continued to grow, both in its importance and in its use by the public. We have acquired over two hundred books on various phases of art. Most of these have been purchased by the Museum, but some have been generously donated by friends of the organization. Our library is now so wide in its scope that it permits the visitor to acquire information on almost any subject pertaining to art. Its volumes include most of the authoritative texts published in recent years. Our collection of slides has increased by nearly fifteen hundred plates, and now numbers about five thousand, while six hundred and fifty additional small reproductions mounted for the lending file, bring that collection to approximately the same total. Now that our principal needs in this department have been met, our future library accessions will probably decrease in number. Aside from their use by the Museum staff, both the slides and the reproductions have been borrowed extensive! y by the various cultural groups throughout the Northwest, for we do not confine this lending service merely to our own community. At the close of the year, Miss Jean Black, librarian, left for a six months' leave of absence for a research appointment in the Hoover War Memorial Library at Leland Stanford University. Her place has been taken by Miss Nannette Tibbals, who, in the past few years, has assisted us on numerous occasions. Education My previous mention of the lecture series touches on only one small phase of Mrs. Young's service to the Museum. Otherwise, she has continued her almost daily task of speaking on a large variety of subjects to schools and cultural organizations throughout the Northwest. This year, she has been concentrating on the larger organizations, in order to obtain the utmost returns for her efforts. In addition, she has been giving for the Study Guild a series of lectures, last year on the History of Japanese Art, and this year on that of China. Aside from these activities, she has continued both the Saturday Morning Children's Story Hour and her weekly gallery tours on Tuesdays and Fridays. Another responsibility which she has continued to assume is that of a weekly radio talk, which IO this year is given on Fridays at 1 :15 over station KXA, through the courtesy of the Seattle Parent-Teachers' Association. These few facts testify to the vital work which Mrs. Young has continued to do in increasing the service of the Museum. Study Guild The Study Guild has continued to play a very active part in the services which it renders to our organization and to Seattle. Under the fine chairmanship of Mrs. Brian W attleworth, the Guild has presented five courses of study. Three of these are conducted in the auditorium, and intended for the entire Guild, while two are held in the Board Room and confined to a limited number of thirtyfive. The larger courses, such as that of Chinese history, were presented by Mrs. Young and myself, while those on Twentieth Cen-· tury Painting and Interior Design are both conducted either by members or invited speakers. For these courses, Mrs. Ernest Skeel, Mrs. Cecil Willis and Mrs. Carl F. Gould have been the three chairmen, while for the two more limited courses on porcelain and the combined topics of Oriental textiles and jades, the chairmen have been Mrs. Herbert Condon and Mrs. Joseph Barto. To these officers, committee women and speakers, who have contributed to the success of the program, I express my gratitude. I also must again give thanks to the committee which donates its services in conducting the school children through the Museum. IM embership Although we have made no special effort this year to increase our membership, I must admit that we have been disappointed by the fact that our numbers have decreased in each and every one of its classifications, but, thanks to the generous cooperation of our membership committee, we will have the services of Miss Margaret Prosser during the late winter and spring. With her assistance, we have definite prospects of improving that situation in the near future, and we trust that she will receive the cooperation and support of the entire membership. p p ~ ~ ~ With each year of experience, the efficiency of our routine has continued to improve. Some of these improvements have been accomplished with a minimum of effort, while others required the tedious revision of a system. So far as the public is concerned, many of these changes are not apparent, but they are none the less important. One revision, however, that will be noticed by our visitors this II �spring is the contemplated re-arrangement of the south wing to permit the Oriental material to have its maximum educational value in presenting the historical sequence. Most of these improvements are due directly to the initiative of my fellow members of the staff, whose faithful assistance is so important to our service. In closing, I wish once more to express my gratitude to the officers, the Board of Trustees, and to our loyal members. I trust that your association with our activities has brought real pleasure, and not merely the sense of having done a civic duty. Admittedly, the enjoyment of art in a gallery takes a greater individual effort than a concert, which offers physical relaxation in sociable surroundings. Yet, it is not so difficult to learn to enjoy that great potential source of pleasure as some are inclined to think. It is usually granted that we have avoided the physical causes of museum fatigue. Then, all it requires of the visitor is a slight power of visual concentration to awaken an interest, either in the aesthetic or the historical aspects of the exhibitions. If you have enthusiasm for our work, you can be of direct service to our organization in making this investment pay dividends to our community, if, by word of mouth, you supplement the press in spreading news of our activities.. REPORT OF THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT JANUARY TO DECEMBER, 1936 To THE BoARD OF TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF THE SEATTLE ART MUSEUM: l I RICHARD E. FULLER, President and Director. t t I2 The influence of an art museum on an adjacent community depends largely on the extent to which its exhibitions are appreciated and enjoyed. It is the chief service of the Department of Education to develop this enjoyment among the people. That goal can be attained in two ways; by attracting people to the museum by lectures and personally guided tours, and by taking the museum to them by means of illustrated lectures. In this respect, much has been accomplished during the last year. The regular Tuesday and Friday gallery tours have provided interest to many out-of-town visitors, as well as to Seattle residents. In addition, special appointments have been made for convention guests, from whom we have encountered the greatest interest and enthusiasm in our work. That service, in itself, gives Seattle the best possible publicity. Radio broadcasts, which have been given over KXA every week, with a number of extra talks over KOL and KJR, also widen our sphere of influence even beyond our own community. I have had reports from people in other cities that these talks introduced them to the Museum. Another service which should be stressed is a series of lectures which I have given on the second Thursday of every month from October to June, for a group of Parent-Teacher Association members. The lecture is followed by a tour of the North wing, in order that they may see the new exhibits, to which, so far as possible, the talk is related. This meeting is open to the public, and the attendance is about two hundred each month. Many of these women have not missed a meeting in three and a half years. They have become an intelligent and critical group, with a lively interest in modern art and a genuine appreciation for our Oriental collection. As an added incentive to this course, a prize is awarded in May of each year to the school represented by the largest number of Parent-Teacher members from both the Grade School and High School groups. This year, Ballard High School won first place, while McDonald Grade School was second. The record of Ballard High School is especially fine, as most of these women come by street car and reach the Museum by 10 :00 a. m. The prizes are always large framed, colored reproductions of noted paintings, which become the property of the schools. IJ �During the school year, successive classes of grade children have been brought to the Museum. As an average, two classes have attended for four days of the week. The success of their visit has depended, to a large measure, on the faithful cooperation of a group of the Study Guild, who have served as docents in conducting the children through the Museum. Of the nearly four thousand children who were thus brought to the Museum, the Eighth Grade children of the Beacon Hill School, and the Second, Fourth and Fifth Grades of Maple School stood out for their excellent behavior. To these two schools, we awarded as prizes, framed facsimiles of masters, in appreciation, both of their conduct and of the intelligent cooperation of the teachers. The fact that these two schools are in the south end of the City, in under-privileged districts, should serve as an inspiration for others. Aside from the attention which these schools required, the members of the docent committee of the Guild have conducted twentyfour other groups through the Museum during my absence from the city, and frequently responded to last-minute calls. For their unselfish devotion in the past year, I express my sincere gratitude to Mrs. Douglas Shelor, Mrs. Norman Walker, Mrs. John D. Reagh, Mrs. W . D. Vanderbilt, Miss Catherine Evans, Mrs. Ofell Johnson, Mrs. Charles E . Martin, Mrs. Charles R. Mathews, Mrs. A. K. Matzger, Mrs. Girvin B. Wait, Mrs. Norma Stuchell, and Mrs. Brian W attleworth. II State Chairman of Art for the Federated Women's Clubs, I arranged, at the Longview Convention, an exhibit of arts and crafts by members of the clubs, and, on the closing day, gave the address "The Seattle Art Museum, An Asset to the Northwest." I cannot close my report without thanking Miss Jean Black, our librarian, for her never-failing kindness in assisting me with my work, and Mrs. Coe Malone for her patience in helping me keep my program organized. I am also most grateful to the other members of the staff for their generous assistance, without which this work could not have been accomplished. A museum functions best through an inspired and enthusiastic membership, and only through such a membership can it continue at its best. It is my hope that in some small measure this department has been of service and has brought to the community a fuller realization of the need of supporting the Museum, its greatest cultural asset. Respectfully submitted, MRS. A. M. YOUNG, Supervisor of Education. As Saturday is a day of recreation for the children, the Museum, through the Story Hour from 10 :00 to 11 :00, offers them entertainment which brings to them an enjoyment of the beauty in art and nature, and an understanding of the people and culture of other lands. When weather permits, the usual attendance of about two hundred, including some adults, gives testimony to the fact that it is a source of genuine pleasure which may well awaken a lasting interest and appreciation of the advantages which the Museum offers. Aside from the docent service, the monthly P . T. A. meetings, and the Story Hour, seventy-nine lectures were given in the Museum as part of this program. These included eighteen Sunday afternoon lectures, and, with the assistance of Dr. Fuller, a series for the Study Guild last spring on the History of the Art of Japan, and this fall, on that of China. To organizations outside of the Museum, one hundred eighty-one lectures were delivered. Approximately one-third of these were to schools and the others to clubs and organizations which form a cross-section of our citizenry. This service was not merely confined to Seattle, but resulted in talks in twenty-eight cities throughout the entire state. In my capacity as IS �FINANCIAL REPORT LECTURES fanuary 5 . . . . .

My report this year deals large!y with the realm of art, while subjects which I have featu:ed prev10?sly now require only a few words. For instance, the only important improvement in our building lies in the fact that we have at last taken the precaution of having a sprinkler alarm attached t<;> ou~ A. D. T. system. This protection avoids the danger of flood~n~, m. case the automatic fire sprinkler should operate when the buildmg is closed. That improvement and its future sen:ice is at the .ex:p~nse of oi:r organization, and thus relieves the city of that habihty. In this regard, of course, and in all other respects, I am glad to say t?at our relations with the city have continued to be most cooper:itive. Our police service, under Officer Forlefer, has bee? v~ry satisfactory, while the building has been excellently mamtamed by t~e engineering staff. The positions. <?f the !atter, however! are. still subject to the approval of the Civil Service, but that pomt will at last be settled in the near future. We are also especially pleased with the splendid cooperatio? that we are now receivi?g from. the Park Department in the mamtenance of our landscapmg. It gives definite promise that our surroundings this summer will at last attain the standard for which we hoped. I take pleasure in expressing our gratitude, both to Mr. Umlauff and to Mr. Norr, the new Superintendent of Volunteer Park. Exhibitions We were, as usual, occasionally disappointed in the standard of some of the transient exhibits which failed, in our opinion, to attain the importance which their preliminary publicity suggested. In spite of that fact, a review of our monthly cards shows that :ve were able to brino- to our community a series of very outstandmg exhibitions all of which have met the enthusiastic support of at least some 'groups of our community. It is, of course, impossi?le to hope that any exhibit will have the same ap~e'.11. to all the vane.cl tastes of this day and age. Much adverse criticism, however, is due to a lack of understanding on the part of the public, but, on the other hand, some is unquestionably justified. The present pur- 4 suit of originality undoubtedly results in the perpetration of crimes in the name of art, but it also is certainly productive of creative talent, which, h9'wever, will probably fail to be publicly acclaimed, until time has sanctioned it. Then, with as little reason, the work of the approved artist will probably be universally accepted by the public on the strength of the signature, rather than on its merits as an individual creation. One of the major functions of an art museum is the encouragement of creative talent in the field of art. Our best criterion for judging the local progress is the Northwest Annual, which is held each autumn. This year, with our Twenty-first Annual Exhibition, we came of age, with a standard of achievement which, to our mind, excels anything of the past. One hundred forty-three entries were accepted from one hundred two artists living in the four northwestern states and British Columbia. The prizes, which were an added stimulation to our talent, came, as usual, from the same sources. The major one was the Katherine B. Baker Memorial Purchase Prize of $100, which was again generously contributed by our staunch supporters, the West Seattle Art Club. This prize was awarded to Guy Anderson, for his "Still Life." The Music and Art Foundation Prize of $50, as the first award in sculpture, was won by Dudley Pratt, for his stone sculpture, "Man and Animal." In addition, two prizes were awarded by the Seattle Art Museum; namely $75 for the first award in water color, which went to Emmy Lou Osborne, for her "Still Life," and second prize in oil, of $50, which was won by Peter M. Camfferman, for his "Water Fall." In the selection of the jury, we, as usual, tried to attain both a geographical distribution and a diversity of taste, in order that a catholic result could be attained. The Chairman of the jury was Ambrose Patterson, Professor of Art at the University of Washington, while from Oregon came Louis Demott Bunce, to whom the second prize in oil was awarded the previous year. Our friends to the north were represented by Charles H. Scott, who is the Director of the Vancouver School of Art. Jacob Elshin was present as one of our leading Seattle artists, while I, in an ex-officio capacity, represented the Museum. Although our Study Gallery was used almost continuously to show the work of the leading schools and local organizations, the only other juried exhibition which we held in the Museum galleries was that of the Northwest Printmakers. This outstanding event caused our local artists to compete with some of the best national and international talent, and attained an exceptionally high stand- 5 J �One of the most notable events of the past year was the receipt of an outstanding collection of European and American pr ints, which were bequeathed to our organization by the late Manson F. Backus. This collection, which contains 348 items, consists principally of etchings by many of the most noted European and American artists who excelled in that medium in the latter half of the 19th Century and the early decades of this one. Rembrandt, however, is represented by fifteen prints, which include fine examples of such well known plates as "Christ Before Pilate," "Old Man with Split Fur Cap," and "The Gold Weigher." The collection also contains some excellent wood block prints and engravings by the 16th, 17.th and 18th Century masters. The most important of these is a group of eight prints by Albrecht Durer, the great German master of the 15th and 16th Century. Among these are "St. Hubert," "Christ in the Garden," and his own "Portrait Engraving." Among the etchings of the 19th and 20th Century, the artists who are represented by six or more examples include, in the French School, Buhot, Legros, Lepere, Meryon and Millet ; Short, Cameron, Haden and McLaughlan in the British School, while our own country is represented principally by eleven etchings by Whistler. In this notable group of artists, Meryon, Millet, Haden, Short and Whistler are especially well shown, in regard both to the number and to the individual importance of the prints. We also have accepted as an indefinite loan the numismatic col- lection of the late Vivian M. Carkeek. This important collection, which, at his request, was offered to us by his widow, contains, in its wide scope, most of the commemorative coins that were issued in Europe and the-United States during the 19th and 20th Centuries, and also many of the bronze medals for both our army and navy. In all, it includes some 500 items, and forms a collection which has merit, both from an artistic and an historical viewpoint. We are also grateful to Mrs. Carkeek for her fine collection of Wedgwood, which we still retain as a loan. During our short visit to Japan a year ago last autumn, our long association with Yamanaka and Company gave my mother and me the opportunity of acquiring a very outstanding representation of the art of Japan. That material was added to the Museum's possessions during the present year, giving it a comprehensive collection which was sufficiently wide in scope to touch most of the major steps in the artistic development of that great country. The most important of these accessions were undoubtedly in the field of early Buddhistic sculpture. In this regard, we obtained objects to illustrate most of the various changes of style from the 8th to the 15th Century. Our earliest piece is a fragment of the torso of a strongly sculptured guardian of the Nara Period (7th-8th Century). The severe simplicity of the Konin Period is well shown by a wooden, life sized figure of Buddha, while the graceful elegance of the Heian Period (9th-12th Century) is typified by a fragment of a large gilded nimbus. The Kamakura Period is well represented by a small standing figure of Bishamon, who is one of the four kings guarding the universe; three, very expressive, life sized seated arhats of lacquered wood; and a slightly larger lacquered Buddha. The Kamakura Period is also represented by our most important Japanese painting, depicting the descent of the Amida Buddha from the Western Paradise. In addition to this, we acquired over seventy Japanese scroll paintings, ranging in age from the 15th to the 19th Century. In ceramics, we acquired about fifty items, chiefly in the decorative wares of the 18th Century. Many of these were selected to show the creative talent of the peasant wares of that period, but the collection also includes two notable examples of the work of Kenzan, the great 17th Century potter. In featuring the peasant art, we also acquired some very interesting examples of wooden ornamental sculpture, principally of the 18th Century. The collection also includes a comprehensive group of Japanese dolls, together with various accoutrements that were used in the annual festival. These, for the most part, date from the 18th Century. For four Buddhistic kakemonos, and some excellent lacquer musical instruments of the 18th Century, we are indebted to Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson. 6 7 ard. As usual, our organization was the fortunate repository for the prints selected for purchase awards. We have also continued our policy of devoting a gallery to our one-man shows each month. Last year, however, in order to avoid any accusation of favoritism, this system was modified by not allotting that gallery to individual artists during the summer months. We, therefore, invited all the local artists who were represented in the previous Northwest Annual to send in two paintings. From this group, we were then able to have three monthly exhibitions, which gave our tourists a more equitable cross-section of the work of the Northwest. Aside from the exhibition of their work, our desire to stimulate local talent has caused us to favor the purchase of their work. This support of unrecognized ability would not be considered as a conservative investment by those who too often value a work of art in terms of the signature, but I hope that this encouragement may assist both in the progress and in the eventual achievement of the national prominence to which some of them give promise. Accessions �In the hope that our members and visitors might avail themselves of this educational privilege, we published, in the fall, a small pocket manual which I wrote, "A Sketch of the Historical Background of Japanese Art." As the name implies, this was intended to give to the uninitiated a readable outline of the essential points in the cultural development of the country during successive periods of its history. Although that attempt has not taken the world by storm, I am contemplating writing, in the near future, a similar condensa;ion for the art of China. prehensive that our future additions are sure to be far fewer in number. As matef ial is superseded in importance, we will continue to follow our policy of trading it for individual objects of major importance. We, however, have not completely neglected either the art of the other Asiatic countries, or that of Europe, but, in the future, our attention will undoubtedly more often be directed toward those fields. Our knowledge of the subject has permitted us to take advantage of opportunities which we could not have found in less familiar fields. At the same time, it has permitted our organization to attain a world importance which would otherwise be impossible with the limited funds at our disposal. Our Chinese collection is now so com- In other phases of the art of the Far East, our accessions were confined to Korea and Siam. From the former country, we obtained a few important examples of both their ceramic wares of the Korai Period (10th-14th Century) and bronze vessels, which in part, date from even earlier days. The additions to our Siamese collection were confined to three grotesque architectural ornaments, a small Buddhistic guardian lion of gilded bronze, and a large Buddhistic painting of the 17th or 18th Century. The Near East was represented in this year's accessions only by a few fine examples of Persian and Turkish textiles, and an early Byzantine altar front from a church in Smyrna. Otherwise, the additions to the European collection were few in number, but very representative of their periods. Two Russian icons of enameled metal show well the Byzantine tradition of about the 16th Century. That same country is also represented by an ivory plaque depicting Biblical scenes around a central crucifixion. This piece dates from the 18th Century. The crucifixion also forms the subject for a Limoges enamel plaque of the 16th Century. The elegance and grace of the French court of the late 18th Century is typified by a Niederviller porcelain ornament, showing a perfectly modeled sedan chair with accompanying figures. Although the loan of material admittedly entails a certain risk, we have followed the policy which we established last year by lending some material to the Chinese exhibition held at Mills College for the Friends of Far Eastern Art. We are now represented by some very important items, both from our Chinese and from our Japanese collections in the exhibition being held at the San Diego Fine Arts Gallery, during the second year of their Fair. We have also commenced the loan of our large framed facsimiles, in order that they may be available to some of the local schools for a limited length of time. Our slides, and especially our small color reproductions, are frequently lent to schools and various groups outside of our city. In the course of time, we hope to increase this service to the Northwest as a whole by acting as a center for the circulation of exhibition material to some of the larger neighboring cities, where cultural groups are striving to awaken interest in art. Some step in 8 9 In spite of the fact that we are open to accusations of showing favoritism, we have continued to add to our Chinese collection by gradually filling gaps, and, at the same time, by raising its already high standards. This year, although we acquired some fine decorative wares of various periods, our principal additions lay in the field of monochrome ceramics. This class included an example of the rare T'ang porcelain and several excellent pieces of Sung wares, among them, a Chien Yao bowl from Mrs. A. M. Young. Most of the monochromes, however, which number twenty-five in all, belong to the early reigns of the Ching Dynasty (17th-18th Century). The latter are of especial value in the artistic arrangement of the cabinets with changing exhibits. We also acquired some excellent examples of the Shang-Yin and Chou jades, and, in evidence of our catholicism, some fine examples of the delicate 18th Century ivory carving. One weakness of our collection was partially overcome by the accession of fifteen paintings, ranging from the Sung Dynasty to the 19th Century. Of the larger objects, we made a few very important additions to our collection in the field of Chinese sculpture, which are confined to the early periods. In order of age, we must first mention a small, very vigorous dancing girl of the Han Dynasty (3rd Century B. C. to 3rd Century A. D.). This piece is one of the finest examples of the recently excavated wooden sculpture of that period. Of the T'ang Dynasty (7th-10th Century) we obtained a glazed guardian warrior of the white porcelainous ware. This piece still bears much of its original embellishment of red and blue paint, together with the gold leaf. Our largest example is a seated wooden Kwanyin of heroic size. From its style, it undoubtedly dates from the early part of the Sung Dynasty (10th-13th Century), if not even earlier. The latter part of this dynasty is represented by the heads of two Lohans, in lacquered wood. I �that direction will be attained through the fact that Mrs. Young is now the Art Chairman of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. Library Although many of our visitors are probably still unacquainted with our library, it has definitely become of increasing importance as an educational feature. During the past year, the attendance has shown a marked increase, which this autumn was partly due to the fact that it was open on Sunday. Many have taken advantage of that privilege, while others visiting the galleries that day have at least become acquainted with that phase of our activity. This important step was due to the suggestion of Miss Marian Appleton, who very kindly contributed her services as librarian during the autumn months. Miss Appleton is now on our staff as the Assistant Librarian on Sundays. The development of our library has continued to be under the guidance of Miss Jean Black, although the purchases are subject to the approval of the Director. Through purchases and gifts, it has acquired 479 volumes during the past year, bringing the total list to nearly 2000. More than 700 were added to our lantern slides, thus making available to the public a collection of over 3400, while our mounted reproductions were augmented by over 500, and now exceed 4200 in all. The most important accession to the library this year came from the bequest of the late Manson F. Backus, who left to the Museum about 160 volumes, comprising the section of his library dealing with engraving and etching. As our collection of books gradually is rounded out, it touches on almost all phases of art, and includ~s most of the important recent publications in various fields. Lectures tures were held in the lar(e auditorium, Meany Hall. In attendance, the most successful of these was, as usual, the lecture by Lorado Tart, who this year spoke on "Sculpture of the Italian Renaissance." We had only a few days' notice in which to publicize the lecture by Dudley Crafts Watson on "The Arts and Crafts of Scandinavia," and, therefore, did not have the attendance which this noted speaker deserved. The third of these lectures was that of Dr. Hans Tietze, who spoke on "Vienna as an Art Center." In our own auditorium, we also gave three more membership lectures. In the winter, Dr. Annemarie Henle gave an afternoon lecture on "18th Century German Sculpture." In the spring, Dr. Herbert H. Gowen very kindly donated his services for a very interesting lecture on "The Gardens of Japan," while in the autumn, Dr. Basil Cameron, conductor of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, likewise contributed a delightful lecture on "Music in Relation to the Plastic Arts." Education . This year, I am glad to say that Mrs. Young has not been spending so much of her energies as she did in the past in delivering outside lectures to so many of the smaller local groups. In previous years, she has done great missionary service for us, and has been a great factor in our success, but her tireless generosity in speaking has resulted in some of the organizations abusing the privilege. It has, therefore, been considered advisable that private organizations should be asked to contribute for her services, on terms in which the Museum participates, while her gratuitous engagements outside the Museum will be limited principally to addresses to the larger s~hool groups. This change does not mean that Mrs. Young is less active. Instead, she has been giving far mor~ time to activities in the Museum. For the Study Guild, through the entire season, she has been delivering a series of ten lectures covering the historical development of the art of Japan. At our Sunday lectures, we have also been relying largely on her ability and our own material. Last summer, through private assistance, Mrs. Young was fortunately able to take a fairly extensive tour of the Orient. This trip, and her own intensive application, permitted her to acquire a rich backg:liound and a wide fund of knowledge which have been most valuable in her educational activities. As usual, most of our lectures belong to the autumn and winter series, which are open to the public on Sunday afternoons. I am delighted to say that these are now a very popular feature, and usually result in our auditorium being filled to capacity. For these lectures, we are now relying almost entirely on our own staff and our own material. In fact, for this series for the past year, we have been indebted only to Mrs. H. J. Lenz, who lectured on "Early American Glass," and to Dr. Annemarie Henle, of the Cornish School, who gave two lectures on "Art in America." In addition, Mrs. Young's Story Hour for children on Saturday mornings has continued to be a very popular feature. During the past year, we have again enjoyed the cooperation of the University of Washington in the sponsorship of three lectures, in which the Department of Art joined us. These membership lee- Once again, we are most grateful to the officers of our Study Guild, through whose efforts that phase of our activities has been of increasing service. Under the able chairmanship of Mrs. Joseph Barto, this group now has 375 members who attend one or more of IO II Study Guild �the four courses of study which have been conducted during the current year. The one on the "History of Sculpture" was under the leadership of Miss Drusilla Albert, while Mrs. Theodora Hardson with the assistance of Mrs. James O'Bryan, arranged for the cours~ "Two Centuries of Painting in England and France." The "Contemporary Arts" class was under the leadership of Mrs. Walter Wyckoff. The lectures in these three courses were given principally by members of the Guild, to whom the task was assigned in the program which was printed in the early autumn. Aside from these, -however, there was a fourth course on the "History of Japanese Afi;." For the _ir:s~ruction in this course, Mrs. Young assumed the entire responsibility, and gave the full series of lectures. Each of these four courses met on alternate Tuesdays, in order that the Guild might meet every week. . I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the members of the Study Guild for the generous assistance which they have given to Mrs. Young in the docent service to the schools, and for their valuable services to our organization in various capacities. Attendance . JJ1 embership 'I'he staff of the Museum can claim but little credit for the most gratifying development of the past year. In the spring, a group of our officers and board members inaugurated what they referred to as a "quiet effort" to increase our membership. Although the burden unfortunately fell on relatively few, the financial results were of major importance, and brought to meet our current expenses a sum of over $5000. The bulk of this sum was very generously contributed by those who enrolled in our higher classes of membership. It is difficult for me to express adequately my appreciation, both to those whose energy made this "quiet effort" a success, and to our fellow citizens who so generously joined in our support. Although we have had many delinquents in our membership list, we have had sufficient new members in the past year to show a very substantial gain, so that at the end of the year, the enrollment numbered over 800 in good standing. In addition, we have received $550 as donations, and the gift of $335 from Mrs. Reginald H. Parsons, towards the Lecture Fund which she has so kindly thus far sponsored. This donation was pre~ sented in memory of her grandfather, Daniel Cogswell. We also gratefully acknowledge the bequest of one thousand dollars from the Estate of H. C. Henry, to our Endowment Fund. It is indeed fitting that the name of a man who did so much to foster an art interest in this community should thus be permanently enrolled on our list of Endowment members. . ~lthough the count of our attendance must, of necessity, be partly estimated, ~he numb~r of visitors in the past year has apparently shown a satisfactory ir:crease, and, for the year, was in the neighborhood of 282,000. Judgmg from that figure, one is led to believe that our institution and its function in the city was very widespread. Actually, however, one is surprised to find how often one hears of our fellow citizens who have never visited the Museum and who in fact, have never heard of it. Others apparently have ~o concep~ t~on of its aims or functions. This was recently very clearly emphasized by.the fact that o:ir County Assessor flattered our organization by sendmg us a tax bill of over $40,000, based on his estimate of the value of our collection. Fortunately, that is not a subject of wo:ry, for our organization is exempt by our State Constitution, which states that the following properties are exempt from taxation.: .":'~JI art, scienti~c or historical collections maintaining and exhibitmg such collections for the benefit of the general public and not for profit." That unexpected action, however, was taken owing to the fact that the Assessor's office apparently had the firm conviction that I, t~r<?ugh an astounding display of business ability, was personally attammg profits by the sale of paintings. To those familiar with the situation, the accusation is, of course, most amusing but on further thought, it is st.artling that such a rumor should be ~ccepted by any of our populat10n. Actually, any organization is entitled to a small c01:in:ission on the objects which are sold in its galleries. Since the bmldmg has been open, however, the only sale which has been made to ~ny one other. th~n to m;:self, consisted of two photographs, on which ou~ orgamzation received the commission of one dollar. They also lost sight of the fact that, disregarding my contribution of services. as Director, for whatever they may be worth, my mother and I, dunng the past three years, have had to assist in the maintenance of our organization to the sum of well over $30,000, aside from the nu?1erous additions to the collection. It is extremely distasteful and qmte unnecessary to .emphasize that point when addressing faithful members who know it all too well, but it may be advisable to have in print this definite statement, in the hope that it may assist in bringing to an end such a ridiculous rumor. if I cannot close without expressing my appreciation for the helpful counsel and faithful service of my officers and Trustees, and without once more thanking my fellow members of the staff for their very loyal and efficient assistance. The public, however, may be all too inclined to accept their service and that of the Museum as a IJ I2 ( �matter of course. Many of our citizens appreciate what the Museum offers and enjoy it to the utmost, but far more are yet to be awakened to its privileges. To some, the distant fields look greenest, and our own local achievements pass unnoticed. I think that as a city, we lack that confidence and enthusiasm which so often leads young communities to overstate their assets. As a quality, it may be desirable, but it does not assist our local enterprises or give them the moral support that they deserve. Our newspapers, however, are doing valuable work in building a greater appreciation. We are , indeed most grateful to them for the generous cooperation which we have received through the publicity given to our activities. We feel that the day is at last rapidly approaching when art in the Northwest will be universally considered to have news interest, and not to be merely a background for social events. It is to our members, however, that we must principally look for assistance, not only for increasing their numbers, but for spreading a knowledge of our activities, in order that our organization may yield to Seattle and to the Northwest its full potential value. RICHARD E. FULLER, President and Director. REPORT OF THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT JANUARY TO DECEMBER, 1935 To THE BoARD OF TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS oF THE SEATTLE ART MUSEUM: The bronze tablet in the entrance hall of the Seattle Art Museum bears these words : "This building has been donated to the city of Seattle for the recreation, education and inspiration of its citizens." It has been the aim of the department of education to carry on its work in such a way that it fulfills the obligation mentioned on that tablet. The recreation takes care of itself, as any one who walks through the Museum on Sunday afternoons or Monday evenings can testify; our duty lies mainly with the education and inspiration of the citizens. With this in mind, the lectures before clubs and organizations have continued as in the past, and a great range of subjects have been covered, but this year, more emphasis has been laid on the lectures to the schools. Radio talks have also been given every week, announcing and describing each new exhibit, telling of the activities of the Museum, or discussing the collections. Members of the Study Guild have been most helpful in taking part in these radio programs. From January to June, there were broadcasts twice a week, and the following members took part on the KXA hour: Mrs. Ambrose Patterson, Miss Drusilla Albert, Mrs. Lyman Tondel, Mrs. Brian Wattleworth, Mrs. Walter Wyckoff, and Mrs. Jesse Charles Johnson. Certain activities have been adopted as regular routine in the educational department. The docent service, conducting visitors through the galleries, on each Tuesday and Friday afternoon at 2 :30, has been a very popular feature, while the Story Hour for children, on Saturday mornings from October through May, has . continued to hold the interest of the younger generation. Many of the same youngsters have been coming for the past three yea~s, and are always introducing new friends to the Story Hour. To aid this service, a small case has now been placed in the hall downstairs, as the "Children's Case." In it, the exhibit will be changed often to show items selected especially to interest them. The attendance of the Story Hour varies between 80 and 125, according to the weather. On the second Thursday of each month, a lecture is given in the auditorium on some phase of art, and is followed by a tour of the I5 �galleries. While this program was originally intended for ParentTeacher members, it is now open to the public, and we have an average of 200 women each month. Last June, a prize of a framed, colored reproduction was given to the Montlake Parent-Teachers' Association for having the greatest number of members present during the year; the second prize being given to the Ballard High School Association. Another important Museum service is the Docent to the Public , Schools. From October to June, children in the seventh and eighth grades are brought to the Museum in busses from the schools, and are conducted through the galleries and then returned to their schools. A number of the schools have sent the children of the lower grades on these trips. This year, the work of School Docent has been done almost entirely by members of the Study Guild, under the able chairmanship of Mrs. Brian Wattleworth. We express our gratitude to the following members, who have so kindly contributed their valuable services during the past year : Mrs. Brian Wattleworth, Miss Catherine Evans, Mrs. Norman Walker, Mrs. Douglas Shelor, Mrs. Jack Reagh, Mrs. Alvin K. Matzger, Miss Mary Dawson, Mrs. Charles Martin, Mrs. Ford Q. Elvidge, and Mrs. Ofell Johnson. A prize of a framed, colored reproduction was given to the children of the John Muir School for having the best behaved group. In enumerating the lectures given, I have divided them into two groups, those delivered outside of the Museum, and those in the Museum . This last year, 207 talks were given outside of the Museum; 26 were out of the city, 102 were in schools, and 29 of these were given in the evening. In addition to the above, 53 radio broadcasts were given. The work in the Museum includes 12 Sunday lectures, 34 Saturday morning story hours for children, 11 talks before the Study Guild, 8 lectures to P. T . A. members, and 53 talks in the Museum to groups by appointment, other than those just mentioned. The regular docent service is not included. This makes a total of 378 talks. After seven years of educational work with the Museum, I have come to the conclusion that certain services are of the utmost importance, while others can be displaced with work that will prove to be of greater value to the community. To my mind, the importance of the work in the schools cannot be overestimated, and should have right of way over clubs and organizations. The lectures in the Museum, however, should not be curtailed, for they are of real value to the adult and reach every type of person. The work out of the city is also important, as it gives Museum service to those communities that do not have the opportunity of visiting Seattle, and thereby widens our sphere of influ- I6 ence. It is, therefore, my sug~estion that the duties of this department be limited to these important tasks, and that lectures to clubs be given only when there is ample time, or when it seems advisable to reach certain groups not otherwise acquainted with the Museum. I cannot close my report without thanking my fellow members of the staff for their assistance, without which this work would not have been possible. Respectfully submitted, MRS. A. M. YouNG, Supervisor of Education. �LECTURES January 13 . . . • Jan. 14 to Mar. 18 January 17 January 20 January 27 February 3 February 10 • February 17 •• February 24 March 3 •• March 10 March 17 . •• March 24 March 31 April 3 .

The purpose of _th~ museums of Europe is essentially that of preserving the art1st1c products of a bye-gone age and they accomplish their objective even though it entails subterranean shelters. Here I think that most museums would consider their .chief function to be that of education, but since education can be imparted only through the voluntary interest of the public, the exhibits and programs must be enjoyable to the average visitor and their message must be relatively intelligible to the layman. The purpose of the education is to raise the artistic taste, to broaden the knowledge and appreciation of the products of both the past and the present, and to stimulate the creative genius of the artist. If in so doing the museum renders some of the ideals of other nations more intelligible to the general public, it, in a small measure, combats the present spirit of national intolerance that now besets the world, and brings recognition to our common heritage of creative achievements in the field of art, unprejudiced by the race or creed of their creators. Exhibitions Although the cost of our exhibitions was slightly in excess of that of the previous year, they were fewer in number and, to a far greater extent than in the past, they were derived either from the Museum's own collection or from local sources. The most notable item on the schedule was the exhibit of the art of India, which accompanied the current course of the Study Guild. Although confined to sculpture and miniatures, this exhibit was comprehensive in its scope and aftained great importance when judged by any standards. Our own collection of material in this field was vastly augmented by a very generous loan from Mr. H. Kevorkian of New York To give additional background for the appreciation of this subject, we again showed a selection from Hubert Stowitts' paintings of "Vanishing India," which are still in our store room, and also photographs of India by Fritz Henle. Other notable exhibits included selections from the Annual Exhibition of the San Francisco Art Association and the work of several artists of national renown, but the most out~ 4 .1 standing was the exhibition of Modern Master Drawings assembled by Dr. Alfred Neumeyer of Mills College under the joint sponsorship of the Seattle Art Museum. We also had several very creditable exhibits that were derived from privat~ collections in the Northwest. In the late spring, through the cooperatto? of the Seattle Branch of the National Early American Glass Society, we had a very attractive and popular exhibit of glass, while in the autumn, during two consecutive months, the generous loan of material in addition to a few appropriate items in the Museum collection, permitted us to have an exhibition both of early European paintings and of antique tapestries. In behalf of the Museum I wish to express our gratitude to those who so kindly-contributed to the success of these events. In the autumn, the Twenty-fifth Annual Exhibition of Northwest Artists was a subject of major interest and brought recognition to much new talent in the Northwest. This year the Katherine B. Baker Memorial Purchase Prize of $100.00, which is so generously presented by the West Seattle Art Club, was awarded to William H. Givler, while the Museum's First Purchase Prize in Watercolor of $75.00 was awarded to Hilda Deutsch of Spokane for her "Landscape." The other monetary awards were won by Leon D. Marsh for his oil painting entitled "White Vase," and by Dudley Pratt for the First Prize in Sculpture, which was accompanied by $50.00 generously donated by the Music and Art Foundation. For the jury of the exhibition, David McCosh, Professor of Art at the University of Oregon, served as chairman, while the other members consisted of Franz Baum and Mark Tobey, two distinguished Seattle artists, Worth D. Griffin, head of the Art Department of Washington State College, and myself in an ex-officio capacity. In addition to this exhibit and to ten one-man shows which we sponsored during the course of the year, our local artists had a number of opportunities to have recognition brought to their achievements. Aside from the aforementioned and aside from study gallery exhibits of the work of schools and various groups, there were the following: a large architectural exhibit under the sponsorship of the Washington State Chapter of the American Institute of Architects; the 11th Annual Exhibition of Northwest Printmakers, in which the local artists meet competition from both national and internationa! talent; an exhibit of the mural designs submitted for the Wenatchee Post Office, for which competition the Museum assisted the Treasury Department; the High School exhibit celebrating the Diamond Jubilee ; and our usual group exhibitions during the summer months of the work of Seattle artists who had been included in the previous Northwest Annual. In order that our summer visitors may see the most important 5 �The Sung Dynasty was enriched by an accession of great importance in the form of a grey crackle bowl of Ko ware. This was added to the very distinguished group of Sung ceramics which have been presented to the Museum by Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson, and whic~ far more than justify her being classed as a patron. The other additions to our Chinese ceramics date from the early part of the 18th Century. One is a plate of the reign <;>f K'ang Hsi, bearing in _famille verte decoration an exceptionally vigorous portrayal of a bird and flower subject. While the other is a large porcelain Yung Cheng vase decorated with peonies, depicted in underglaze blue and peach bloom. The pictorial arts were represented by two large paintings of the Ming Dynasty showing the decorative portrayal o~ flower and bamboo and two small folio bird and flower paintmgs of the same period. In addition, we took the opportunity of completing our collection of Chinese wood-block prints of the so-called "Mustard Seed Garden Series," which was originally published as an art~st's sketch book. So far as the art of Japan is concen:ed, our accessions are confined to folio material of less importance and include both old and contemporary Japanese prints and some twenty vigorous drawings by unknown artists of the 19th Century. From the collection of Indian sculpture which Mr. H. Kevorkian so kindly lent us, we retained a stone panel depicting in high relief two classic incidents in Buddha's renunciation of the worldly pleasures of the palace. The piece comes from Northern India, w~ere it was originally carved in the 2nd or 3rd Cen~ury A. D., m the ancient kingdom of Gandhara. Another access10n f:~m ~he same collection is of greater importance and shows a sens1t1ve mterpretation of a seated Buddha subtly portrayed in a very hard crystalline rock. This came from Northeastern India and dates fr<;>m about the 10th Century, when it was one of the final_ creati:ve expressions of the Buddhistic faith in ~hat ~ountry prior to its extermination by the first Mohammedan mvas10n. The art of Persia was also greatly enriched with several items that reflect the sumptuous decorative quality of some of the greatest epochs of that country. We had the privilege of ac9uir_ing a stucco plaque decorated with two rampant gazelles ..This piece was an architectural ornament of a 6th Century Sassaman palace at Damaghan in Northwestern Ir~n. We also a_cqui:ed two mosaic ti.le medallions. One of these, m the star design, is from a mo~q~e m Ispahan which was dedicated in 1482, .W:hile th.e other, dep1c.t mg a lion attacking a bull, is of unknown origm but it may be attributed to approximately the same period. We also a~quired ~ large ?ecorative panel composed of twenty rectangular tiles bearing a. umfied design of birds, deer and flowers on a yel~ow ground. This came originally from the 17th Century Imperial Palace, Haft Dast (seven mansions) in Ispahan. 6 7 part of our Museum collection, we adopted a policy last summer of permitting our Oriental collections to expand into the three central octagonal galleries in the North wing in order that we could show our most important items illustrating the early art of Japan, the art of Persia and the art of India and Indonesia. For the rest of the year man~ of these various items are confined to our store room fo await their turn for exhibits in the South wing. In catering to the tourists, we publicize the achievements both of the Museum and of our local talent, and incidentally we attain considerable economy in not scheduling transient exhibits. Accessions Once more the Museum was fortunate in receiving noted additions to its collection. Tei say that they are again principally in the realm of the Orient may sound to some like the proverbial coals to Newcastle. In this instance, however, some of the most important pieces were acquired by advantageous exchange of material already in the Fuller Collection of the Museum. The accessions were selected . individually to fill gaps either in the historical sequence or in the representation of various phases of artistic expression. We trust that each piece attains the high standard of the connoisseur and at the same time reflects a creative spirit that can be appreciated by any one interested in art. A bronze horse ornament, a jade sceptre and a group of small jades give an additional glimpse of the revered classic art of China during the Shang Dynasty, which flourished over three millenniums ago. While the collection representing the subsequent Chou Dynasty was strengthened with two richly decorated jade discs or symbols of heaven, a group of small jades, an exquisite bronze mirror and a sword handle inlaid with silver. This long period prior to the Christian Era was once classed under the general heading of archaic, but the recent efforts of archeologists have now permitted it to be subdivided into art epochs which vie with each other in creative achievements. An unglazed tile slab from the tomb of the Han Dynasty, shows the vigorous portrayal of a horse two thousand years ago. While a tiger forms the motive for a bronze buckle of similar age. The latter was the gift of Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson. The refinement of the prosperous years of the T'ang Dynasty, during the 7th and 8th Century, is shown both in a Buddhistic marble head and in a very graceful bronze incense burner that was once carried in religious ceremonies. �Our most important accession in the field of Occidental art was a large French tapestry of the early 18th Century with a very well conceived and finely executed design of verdure and landscape. We also have now three additional old masters of considerable merit; a small painting by the 15th Century Italian artist, Jacopo de! Sellaio, portraying St. Jerome in prayer, a "Village Festival" painted by the 17th Century Dutch masters Hendrick and Martin Van Cleve, and a fine 17th Century Dutch "Landscape" by an unknown artist. Our American paintings were enriched by "Still Life with Fish" by William Merrit Chase, a famous artist of the previous generation. To our collection of contemporary American paintings was added a "Mountain Landscape" by Marion Kavanagh Wachtel as a gift of Alfred Rollo in memory of his wife. While a portrait of Mrs. Eugene Fuller by Spencer Macky was donated by friends. Our collection of paintings by local artists was enhanced by the purchase of prizes of the Northwest Annual, and, in addition, by the accession of Carl Morris's "Woman with Cloth," Vanessa Helder's "City Gas Works," Kenneth Callahan's "The Storm," and "The Little Red Barn," as the gift of the artist, Dorothy Dolph Jensen. Aside from those prints which were entrusted to us as the purchase prizes of the Northwest Printmakers, we also acquired a number of items in etching and lithography by well known contemporary artists. Some of the most noted names are Andre Derain, Jean Charlot and "Pop" Hart. To our collection of the work of local artists, we added several drawings and lithographs by Abe Blashko, two of which were a gift of the artist. In addition, we took the opportunity of selecting enough plates of John Gould's "Birds of Asia" to form an excellent exhibition. We also acquired four drawings by Thomas Rowlandson, the very creative British satirical artist of the early 19th Century. In reviewing the complete scope of accessions of the past year, I think that any one must admit that they are impressive. They represent the result of a number of exceptionally favorable opportunities of filling fairly definite needs of the Museum and, unless otherwise stated, are additions to its Fuller Collection. Do not, however, feel that they establish a precedent that will be maintained. The limited size of the building, which I personally consider to be adequate in space, emphasizes the importance of quality rather than quantity. As our material is superseded in importance by subsequent accessions, we intend to continue our policy of trading the material which no longer is needed for exhibition purposes. 8 Lectures During the course of the year we, as usual, enjoyed the cooperation of the University in having two lectures for members at Meany Hall. On May 2nd, the noted art historian, Sheldon Cheney, lectured on "A Primer of Modern Art" under the joint auspices of the Department of Art. On December 14th, with the cooperation of the Department of Ethnology, Herbert Knapp spoke on the subject of Polynesia with his excellent Kodachrome moving pictures on Tahiti. In our own Auditorium, we enjoyed the privilege of having four visiting celebrities talk on various subjects. Mr. H. S . Ede, formerly of the Tate Gallery, lectured on "Pictures Are Like People." "Essentials of Chinese Painting" was the subject for the famous sinologe, Osvald Siren. Mrs. Helen Appleton Read, in reviewing the results of the art program of the Treasury Department, spoke on "New Horizons in American Art." While Dr. Paul Ganz, the world authority on Holbein, addressed us on his favorite subject. Through the generous cooperation of the Walker Ames Foundation, Amedee Ozenfant, the well known art teacher, spoke to us on "The Need of Art" during the course of his summer instruction at the University of Washington. For most of these lectures we are again indebted to Mrs. Reginald H. Parsons for the maintenance of the Daniel Cogswell Lecture Fund. Our lecture series was also definitely enriched by the Rev. H . A. Reinhold on "A Thousand Years of Christian Art." This series, which Father Reinhold generously contributed, was initially planned as one of the courses of the Study Guild. Both for the convenience of the speaker and to render it available to a wider audience it was scheduled on Monday evening and made open free of charge to the general public. We are most grateful for the privilege that we thus had of widening the scope of our education. Five of the series of eight lectures were delivered in the a:utumn. In addition, the fifteen Sunday lectures were shared by Mrs. A. M. Young and myself, while, except for the period of her illness last winter, Mrs. Young also had in the Auditorium on Saturday mornings her Children's Hour which is always a most popular event. Some of the details of her numerous other educational activities which do such valuable service in enlarging the scope of our influence are covered in her own report, which is presented on subsequent pages. Study Guild As usual the Study Guild has been responsible for some of our major activities during the past year. Two administrations fall within the scope of the present fiscal year. Since the record of the organization under the chairmanship of Mrs. John Dallas Reagh 9 �was covered by previous reports, I now have the privilege of reviewing the major activities under the present able incumbent, Mrs. Ofell Johnson. I have already mentioned the course of "A Thousand Years of Christian Art" by the Rev. H. A. Reinhold. The initial plan for this series and the selection of titles was a subject to which a committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Almon Bogardus, contributed. That committee also assisted in publicizing this important event. The series of historical lectures again reverted to the art of China. Once more Mrs. Young and myself shared the responsibility for it as lecturers. The other two lecture series were confined to the "Art of the Expositions" under the chairmanship of Mrs. Ford Q. Elvidge, and the "History of Furniture" under the chairmanship of Mrs. Herbert Brink. The latter series covered the early epochs in European history, leaving the subsequent centuries to next year. For the initial lecture we had the generous services of Mr. Frank Drake Davison. The other lectures for these two courses were delivered either by members of the Guild or by various local authorities who most generously contributed their services. For these various programs, which entailed in all fortyfour lectures, Mrs. Ambrose Patterson was in charge with the assistance of Mrs. Bayley Willis, while Mrs. Harvey G. Schwarz, as publicity chairman, aided in obtaining the fine publicity which many of the events received. The other major activity of the Study Guild is that of the docent service. Aside from the duties during such events as the American Banking Convention, this conscientious committee under the leadership of Miss Catherine Evans, rendered service almost every week during the school year in conducting children of the Seventh and Eighth grades through the gallery. These numbered over 4800. In behalf of the Museum I wish to thank Mrs. Of ell Johnson and her various assistants for the fine service the Study Guild rendered to our organization. technique of taking 35mm. slides with Leica equipment that was lent to our organization, together with accessories which we purchased. The use of these slides demanded a major investment in a projector for the Auditorium. The saving that is thus made possible will shortly compensate us for the expenditure which now permits us to have Kodachrome slides at a cost that is almost nominal. This phase of our educational activity plays an increasingly important part in the educational life of our city. Probably our most notable Library accession is formed by two extensive educational exhibits which Miss Nannette Tibbals has available for lending to schools and various organizations. These had been prepared in a most scholarly manner by the staff of the San Francisco Museum of Art under a grant from a philanthropic foundation. At our request, their director, Dr. Grace L. McCann Morley, most generously had two sets of the original series of six duplicated for us at actual cost. One of these is entitled "The Language of Painting" and illustrates a modern professional analysis of artistic values in reference to established masterpieces. The other is entitled "Masterpieces of the Past." Both of these exhibitions are accompanied with very complete descriptive labels, as well as a lecture which is available for reading. These exhibitions have been on constant circuit throughout the State and have a wide educational value. Although, at the moment, the main demand for them comes from schools, it is probable that the expansion of the present W. P. A. program in developing art centers at various points in the Northwest will increase the demand for them as well as for other exhibition material which is available in our store room. Equipment and Maintenance The past year, once again, witnessed substantial additions to the various collections of the Library. We acquired 89 volumes by purchase and received 24 by gift. The principal donor was Mr. Bernard Freyd who has now presented to the Museum 95 items, which greatly strengthen our Library in regard to the aesthetic values of art. We now possess over 2600 books and over twice that many colored reproductions which are mounted for lending. The latter were augmented by 17 5 additions. We purchased nearly 700 large standard size slides to meet the requirements of numerous lectures and brought the total to 7500. In the autumn, however, to reduce the cost of slides, our assistant, Mr. Barney Nestor, developed the Our need for additional exhibit space for cabinet items was met with the purchase of four cases of our standard design. Although this entailed a substantial investment, it meets our requirements for at least years to come. So far as the Auditorium is concerned, I have already mentioned the purchase of a Leica projector. It also was greatly improved by the reconstruction of the projection platform by our chief custodian, Mr. A. B. Faris, and his staff. In addition, the potential service of this room was greatly increased by the installation of a loud speaker through the generosity of Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson. For the storeroom, an ultra-violet lamp was purchased to permit the detection both of forgeries and of the extent of repairs. To permit Seattle artists to expand their efforts into the medium of lithography, an old standard press, together with the stones and accessory equipment, was presented by the Museum donors for IO II Library I �installation in the press room. It has proven to be of immediate service to some of our local artists and has permitted the development of exceptional talent in this phase of art. To meet the needs of a life class, which now by tradition sketches in the receiving room Monday evenings during the winter months, a number of items of equipment were added. These, however, did not entail any expense to the Museum. The materials were purchased through the nominal artist fees, while the construction was done by Mr. Faris. Under constant vigilance of the efficient engineering staff of the building, the City's contract for maintenance has been carried out most satisfactorily, and the normal wear and tear have been effectively combatted. To meet the requirements of the Civil Service, Mr. C. E. Maxfield, after very satisfactory service for nearly a year, was replaced by Mr. C. M. Brittain, former junior engineer of the City Light. At this time I also wish to express my appreciation for the fine cooperation which we have received from the Park Department. A very extensive and much needed drainage system was installed in our front lawn. To assist in this major improvement, the Museum met the nominal expense t;ntailed in the purchase of the tile pipe. Membership It is with regret that we note a slight decrease in our membership in spite of the faithful service of our membership committee under the direction of Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson and Mrs. Frederick H. Parks, who devoted their services to a special effort during the autumn. The achievement which they attained with the valuable cooperation of the Study Guild is reflected in the fact that the loss of members during the course of the year occurred in spite of the addition of nearly 300 new members in various classifications. At the instigation of the legal members of our Board, we received the generous cooperation of some members of the State Legislature in having a bill passed exempting museums from the inheritance tax. In doing so, our State followed the precedent of not only the Federal Government, but of most of the States in the Union. This action gives promise of permitting our organization to accumulate an endowment in the course of time. In the late summer, Mrs. Glen Liston resigned the position of Secretary to the Director but retained the responsibility of being the Executive Secretary of the Western Association of Art Museum Directors, with headquarters at the Museum. This organization has continued to grow under her guidance as an important factor in the circuiting of exhibitions. F.ortunately, Mrs. Coe V. Malone has most ably filled her place, and, at the same time, has retained the task of I2 membership secretary. To fill the position left vacant at the upper desk, Miss Aileen Davidson was employed at full time, while Miss Francel Wilt assists. -»>--»>--»>--»>--»>-«<-«<-«<-«<-«<Last summer, on the death of Winlock Miller, Jr., our Board shared with many civic organizations the sad loss of one of its youngest and most valued members. We were fortunate, however, in having Mr. Thomas M. Pelly accept the position thus left vacant. -»>--»>-»>--»>--»>-«+«<-«<-«<-«<we probably share with the executives of most museums, the knowledge that we fail to overcome the inhibition that many of our fellow citizens feel in considering art to be something beyond their scope, so foreign to them in fact that it is only with difficulty that they can be persuaded to make an initial visit to the Museum. Some may be correct in their self appraisal, but there are many others who, I am sure, would be astonished at the ease with which they can enter a new field of interest and of pleasure through exerting the slight effort of observation and through the absorption of a little knowledge which we endeavor to present in digestible form. An art museum permits you not only to visit foreign shores, but to turn back the pages of history and to become familiar with creative genius which speaks to you personally in a universal language. The essential smattering of that language is within the grasp of almost anyone who has the interest. Although I fully appreciate that the vital interest in current affairs may divert many from thoughts of art and that the many demands on crowded lives may cause one to avoid any additional effort, I am sure many fail to realize the recreation that may so easily be derived and the extent to which their lives may be enriched. With the thought that a good wine needs no bush, we undoubtedly let slip opportunities of publicizing our activities. Every member, however, and for that matter anyone can be of service in permitting our organization to pay greater dividends to the community if by word of mouth they spread news of the continually changing activities which the Museum presents. In this respect, however, we greatly appreciate the cooperation of the press and the fine missionary work that they assist us in doing in our chosen field, although we still hope for the day when in Seattle, as in the other great cities of this country, our citizens will obviously show sufficient interest in art to place events in that subject definitely in the category of news. I cannot close without expressing my warm gratitude to the members of the staff for their very efficient and faithful service IJ 1 �which plays an essential part in the success of our organization, and our sincere appreciation of the cooperation of the Board of Trustees and of the support of each of our members. I trust that this report of our progress will strengthen their interest and loyalty to the Museum in the great civic service that it is rendering and that it will not give them merely a false impression of affluence and the comfortable feeling that their assistance is no longer needed. Although the interest of the general public is still a constant encouragement, we must admit that our membership statistics reflect our failure in one essential phase of our external relationships in spite of the achievements of the committee in charge. That is a point, however, that we hope will be rectified in the future. E. FULLER, President and Director. RICHARD I4 REPORT OF THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT •; JANUARY TO DECEMBER, 1939 To THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF THE SEATTLE ART MUSEUM: It is of interest to study the reports of former years on the activities of the Educational Department for by such comparisons we can measure the success of our efforts. Since we opened our doors in June of 1933, we have attempted to carry out the duties laid down for such departments in every museum, namely, docent to adults and school children, lectures in the museum and out of it, and children's story hours. That members of various organizations have continued to attend these lectures year after year and that the children who came seven years ago are still interested in the programs sponsored by the Museum is indicative that we are filling a very real need. That so many come to the Museum is only an indication that they look to us for assistance and have come to respect this Museum's position in the community. It is with the idea of serving the people that this work of providing recreation and aesthetic enjoyment is carried on. The Docent Group, under the able chairmanship of Mrs. Ofell Johnson in the spring and Miss Catherine Evans in the fall, has conducted Seventh and Eighth grade children from the Public Schools on tours through the galleries. Adult groups and school children from out of the city have had similar service by special appointment. This department is grateful to the members of the Docent Group, for we are mindful that under this volunteer service the members are constantly on call and have frequently sacrificed personal pleasures and comforts to come at a moment's notice in order to conduct a group through the Museum. Their enthusiasm and wonderful cooperation has been an inspiration to the school children under their guidance and words cannot convey my personal gratitude for their generous service in behalf of both the Museum and the community. The following comprise the committee who have contributed to the work of the Educational Department: Mrs. Frank S. Bayley, Jr., Mrs. Edward Strong Campbell, Mrs. Kenneth Cole, Mrs. Joseph Gandy, Mrs. John Dallas Reagh, Mrs. Wesley Rennie, Mrs. Willard Skeel, Mrs. Veo Fuller Small, Mrs. Elizabeth Smithson, Mrs. Harvey G. Schwarz, Mrs. Lewis Turtle, Mrs. Pieter van Dalen, Mrs. W. D. Vanderbilt, and Mrs. Brian Wattleworth. IS �In addition to lectures given, I have written a weekly art column for the Sunday Post-Intelligencer and have given two radio broadcasts a week. Once a month, from October through May, a lecture is given to Parent-Teacher Associations. This has become a tradition with that organization and there are many members who have not missed a single meeting since the Museum opened. The Auditorium is usually filled at these meetings and often with members standing. I give a lecture on some phase of art and follow it with a tour of the galleries. These Parent-Teacher members report to their school associations on the lecture and current exhibits, and so the influence of the Museum is taken into the homes. The Children's Story Hour, held each Saturday morning at 10 o'clock from October through May, continues to attract children and their parents. While the audience changes from time to time there are many who have been attending for several years. During my absence in the spring, Dr. Richard Fuller gave the Study Guild lectures that I was scheduled to make and wrote three of my Sunday articles, while Mrs. William Harrison and Mr. R. Bruce Inverarity lectured to the Parent-Teacher Association, and Mr. Dick Rarig brought educational talking films to the Children's Story Hour. Last summer I attended the State Convention of Federated Women's Clubs at Be1Iingham, where I addressed the convention and took a collection of Washington artists' work for an exhibit. I also addressed the Publicity Department of the Museum Directors' Association at their annual convention in San Francisco. In summing up the lectures for this past year, 125 lectures were given out of the Museum, of which 40 were out of the city and 56 in various schools, while 54 talks were given over the radio and 68 lectures delivered in the Museum, making a total of 240 for the year. I wish to express my personal gratitude for the enthusiastic and generous support given me by the Docent Committee and fellow members of the staff and to make especial mention of the generous assistance of Mrs. Coe Malone, Miss Aileen Davidson, Miss Nannette Tibbals and Mr. Barney Nestor without which this program could not have been carried on.

In judging a museum, the investment may be measured to some degree in dollars and cents, but the earnings and actual dividends are intangible, and depend on the extent to which the organization serves its purpose of giving the oft-mentioned recreation, inspiration and education to an aggregate of individuals. The widening of that sphere of influence is admittedly a gradual process which requires the constant effort of the staff. Under the pressure of time, opportunities of progress occasionally slip by, while other goals, of which we are aware, merely await the time and energy required to attack them. Although we are gratified from time to time in receiving evidence of the high tribute that the Seattle Art Museum is winning in the world of art, we were recently surprised at learning how limited the knowledge of the Museum is in our own community, and we were rudely awakened to the fact that many of our citizens are still unaware of the existence of our organization. A universal interest in art is, of course, not expected, but there is unquestionably ground for hope that our populace may become more conscious of a civic advantage. In this important factor of human relations, every member can be of service in spreading a knowledge of our work, rather than merely relying on the kind cooperation of the press, which we have already to a large measure enjoyed. An appreciation of art and a knowledge of its history may well be classed as unessential in comparison with the worries which confront the world, but I think that many would be better if they found release and interest in visual enjoyment and momentarily at least, forgot the problems which they cannot solve. Numerous details of our varied activities have been brought to your notice through our monthly cards, but it is safe to conclude that many of these announcements are swept into the waste basket by the flood of unessential mail before they have been perused with even a hasty glance. That fact, which is accepted as part of presentday life, justifies emphasis of the salient features of those programs. The calendar of events, however, fails to reflect some of the important progress that we hav.e made in the past year and the extent to which we have been successful in extending the service of the Museum in this community. 4 Exhibitions In reviewing our exhibition schedule, the numbers of items included is at least impressive. During the year, we have had eightythree exhibits either in the north wing or the Study Gallery, not to mention a number of changes in both the arrangement and material in the oriental rooms to the south. Thirty-five of these exhibitions were derived from the Museum's collection. Over twenty-five included the work of local artists or students, while the remaining h:'lve, for the most part, been circuited by art associations principally through the services of the Western Association of Art Museum Directors, of which Mrs. Liston is still the executive secretary. For these exhibits there is usually a fee, aside from the cost of transportation, but we are indebted to the Lilienfeld Gallery of New York City for exhibitions of the work of both Maurice Vlaminck and Max Pechstein. Our most important transient exhibit came to us through the courtesy of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, which permitted us to show its paintings of the Venetian School. We also had the privilege of exhibiting some fine drawings by old masters, from the collection of Sir Robert Witt. As usual, our selection of exhibitions was governed to a large extent by the material available and the convenience of the circuit, in order to keep the cost of transportation at a minimum. We made some attempt, however, especially in the field of Persian Art, to have some continuity between the exhibitions and the courses of the Study Guild. We hope in the future to place greater emphasis on this coordination. Whether you have viewed all of the exhibits with enthusiasm or not, you at least must grant that we have catered to a variety of tastes. The Northwest Annual was, as usual, one of the principal events of the autumn. It attained a high standard and brought to attention a number of new contributors from various parts of the Northwest. Again, we thank the West Seattle Art Club for the $100.00 purchase prize in memory of Katherine B. Baker. This year, Peggy Strong received the award for her oil painting, "Mountain Merry-GoRound," while Walter F . Isaacs won the second award for his "Portrait of Miss Grey." The $50.00, which accompanied the latter together with the first prize in water color of $75 .00, were both donated by the Museum. In this other medium, James H. Fitzgerald won the first award with an entry entitled "Skunk." The Music and Art Foundation sculptural award of $50.00 was won by Jean Johanson for her soapstone figure entitled "Contentment." Ambrose Patterson of the Art Department of the University of Washington acted as Chairman of the jury, while the other members 5 �consisted of Andrew McD. Vincent of the Art Department of the University of Oregon, two well-known Seattle artists, Elizabeth Warhanik and Harry Bonath and myself in an ex-officio capacity. This year, we again have the privilege of acknowledging our gratitude to the Samuel H. Kress Foundation for a notable addition to the Museum collection. Through the generosity of Mr. Kress, we now possess a portrait of a "Young Man in Black," by the great 16th Century Venetian, Tintoretto. Otherwise, our old masters were represented only by the purchase of the current publications of the fine European facsimiles. This year, our acquisition of the works of local artists was less extensive than it has been in the past, but it was of high quality. Walter F. Isaacs generously donated the Museum his prize winning portrait from the Northwest Annual. The Fuller Collection acquired his oil painting entitled "Lilies," as well as two drawings by Abe Blashko, and a terracotta figure group by David Lemon. In addition, the Museum has the good fortune of being the recipient of the purchase prizes awarded by the Northwest Printmakers each spring. Although this exhibit is national in scope, the awards usually include one or more local entries. Last year, one Washington artist thus came to be represented in the Museum collection. It was also augmented by a number of drawings and prints. Of these, the most notable item, according to current standards, is a large drawing of figures by that noted American, the late Arthur B. Davies. Twelve colored lithographs by Daumier also formed an important addition. Some early engravings include the work of William Blake, Peter Breughel and Rubens, while contemporary graphic artists were represented principally by lithographs. The Study Guild course on the historical development of Persian art caused us to concentrate our attention on that important field, which the Museum collection had previously touched but lightly. Twelve additional examples of ceramics dating from the 12th to the 17th Century reflect the spirit of their period, although they fail to include some of the most cherished wares. Of these, the most notable example is the 12th Century Rhages flower vase in the form of the fantastic so-called antelope, with its all-over lustre decoration. The additions to the Persian collection also include a few pages of illuminated manuscripts, some fine armour accessories with damascene decoration, and an excellent fragment of a 16th Century brocade. The Persian spirit was also reflected in two quite fine miniatures of the Moghul School of India. That great country was also represented by an 18th Century miniature from one of the Rajputana states, in which the Hindu influence predominates. To illustrate the historical survey of the Art of India, which forms one of the current courses of the Study Guild, three fine examples of medieval Hindu sculpture were added to the collection. Each of these typifies a characteristic motive of Indian art. A Rajputana sandstone carving of about the 10th Century shows Siva, the Hindu god, and his mate, Parvati, seated among their numerous iconographic accessories. A standing figure in stone of Ganesh, the elephant-headed god of Wisdom, is a delightful rendering of a familiar subject. A delicately carved stone which once formed an architectural ornament testifies to the incredible skill and patience with which some of the great temples were decorated. This piece depicts various stages in the previous incarnations of Vishnu, the Great Preserver, and shows the vivid imagination and artistic skill with which the artists of that country depicted their legendary gods. Although unfamiliar forms of art are, as a rule, repellent to the layman, I feel sure that the quality and beauty of these pieces will be appreciated with time. In spite of the fact that the Museum is already able to illustrate most phases in the development of Chinese Art, we also availed ourselves of several opportunities of enriching the collection. The classic art of the Shang-Yin Dynasty (18th-12th Century, B. C.) was represented by two unusual pieces. One is a complete segment of a mould for casting the bronze ceremonial vessel known as the Chueh. The other is the bronze socket for a chariot pole, decorated on the sides with an excellent example of the conventional adaptation of a bird. From that distant period we skipped to the T'ang Dynasty (7th-10th Century, A. D.). That famous period of Chinese art was represented by several additions, of which the most notable is a miniature bronze mirror bearing a silver gilt medallion decorated with birds and flowers. Our collection of the pottery of that period is greatly strengthened by two pieces ; one is a simple vase of beautiful proportion, while the other is a bottle formed as a large wine skin held by the crouching figure of a bearded Semite, who is portrayed with vigorous sculptural skill. The exquisite quality of the later art of China is well represented by a small vase of "tea dust" glaze, made as an Imperial gift for Emperor Chien Lung of the 18th Century, and bearing on it as a symbol of good omen a spray of peaches in high relief. To permit changes of the decorative effect, we also acquired some additional textiles of the 18th or 19th Century, and a few paintings which were principally ancestral portraits of the same period. The art of Japan was represented in the list of accessions by only two additions. By good fortune, I was able to select from a very large collection fifty small drawings by Hokusai and his school. These demonstrate clearly the very vigorous and original art stim- 6 7 Accessions �I ulated by that great master in the early 19th Century. We also acquired a very large screen of the Kano School of the 16th or 17th Century, decorated with the strong portrayal of five great hawks either in flight or resting on a pine branch. Since many of these oriental accessions; which, incidentally, form additions to the Fuller Collection, must live in the storeroom during the process of rotation, it would now be appropriate to mention that that important part of the Museum had a major improvement last year. As we contemplated, we installed thirty-eight additional movable picture racks in the northern section, at the cost of about $2,500.00. This solves a need for many years to come, and permits us to hang all of our extensive collection of facsimile reproductions together where they can be easily studied by classes or selected for school exhibits without disturbing the working portion of the storeroom. The permanent collection, when not on exhibit, is now confined to the central and southern portion of the storeroom. Lectures During the year we twice had the generous cooperation of the University of Washington in having the use of Meany Hall. In the spring we had a comprehensive illustrated lecture by Major James Sawders on "Ancient Civilizations of the Americas," while in the autumn we had a very successful Clavilux recital by Thomas Wilfred. In our own auditorium we had the pleasure of having six visiting lecturers of national or international renown. Gordon Dunthorne spoke on "Old Flower Prints and Books," Dr. Robert Freiherr von Heine-Geldern on "The Influence of the Early Art of China in the Pacific," Charles Moore, through the courtesy of the American Institute of Architects, on "Washington (The Capitol City), Today and Tomorrow," Herrick B. Young on "Awakening Iran," Dr. Younghill Kang on "The Thought World Behind Far Eastern Painting," while Miss .Soo Yong gave a Chinese dramatic recital entitled "The Rainbow Pass." We again are deeply indebted to Mrs. Reginald H. Parsons for her continued replenishment of the Lecture Fund from which the honorariums are drawn. We had only eighteen Sunday lectures. Of these, Mrs. Young gave eleven, while I was responsible for the rest. In the winter months these lectures, which are open to the public, have excellent attendance, usually in excess of the seating capacity. With the advent of good weather in the spring, the number of parked cars form a barrier against which we do not try to compete. So far as many of our members are concerned, our principal lecture series is that of the Study Guild, under the auspices of which sixty-two lectures were given during the fiscal year. 8 Library During the past year over one hundred books were purchased for the library, while almost a score of volumes were generously donated by various friends, bringing our total accessions to over 2,500. Our collection of slides and small mounted reproductions were both augmented by approximately 700 items, of which over 150 slides were donated. We now have over 6,600 slides, and a collection of reproductions that totals about a thousand less. Although we now have excellent material to illustrate many subjects, we frequently have to call upon the loan collection of the Metropolitan Museum of New York for assistance. We thus rented slides for seventeen Study Guild lectures. Although full advantage of these important educational facilities has not yet been taken by the various institutions of the city, our circulation statistics for the past year showed a satisfactory increase. Study .Guild As usual, this report covers only the current activities of the Study Guild, which now is under the able leadership of Mrs. John Dallas Reagh. Under the chairmanship of Mrs. Bayley Willis, the program committee determined on four lecture courses of twelve lectures each. Mrs. Richard Huntoon was in charge of the course on "The Early Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean." Mrs. Harvey Schwarz was responsible for arranging a series of talks on "Gold and Silver Smithing," while Mrs. Perry Johanson selected the topics and arranged for the speakers for a comprehensive survey of "Current Art." For the fourth course on the "Survey of the Art of India," I assumed the responsibility, with the valuable assistance of Dr. Herbert H. Gowen and Mrs. A. M. Young in speaking on the various topics. . Aside from these courses, which do so much in establishing interest, we are especially indebted to those members of the Guild who, under the direction of Mrs. Ofell Johnson, are docents for the exhibitions. We only regret that their services were temporarily curtailed by some difficulty in the transportation of the school children. For the activities of the Guild, Mrs. Douglas Shelor served as Publicity Chairman, while Mrs. Walter Wyckoff and her membership committee have assisted in adding to our list of members. Both personally and in behalf of the Museum, I wish to thank all those members who have been active both as officers and members of the various committees of the Guild, which contributes such important service to the Museum. Membership Last spring, the renewals of many of our memberships which resulted from the efforts of our Committ~e during the previous year 9 �came due at the moment when the economic level of the country was not very encouraging. That fact may well have been responsible for our membership following the prevailing trend. To counteract this effect, our Chairman, Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson again generously contributed the services of Miss Margaret Pros'ser, who had n~n­ dered such valuable service to us in the previous year. Miss Prosser's wide experience, together with the generous cooperation of the committee, re_sulted in an increase in our membership from 1,043 to only 1,110, m spite of 207 new members, which compares with the maximum figure of 1,213, which we reached in January, 1938. For this achievement, I am most grateful to both Mrs. Stimson and those loyal members who served on her committee. With Miss Prosser's assistance, the Museum obtained an excellent membership prospectus in the form of a small folder. Incidentally, we would be very glad for our members to have copies of this publication to offer to interested friends as an invitation to join our numbers. During the past year, we shared with many the sad loss of Mrs. A. S. Kerry, who, as President of the Music and Art Foundation, had done so much to spread a cultural interest throughout this city. Mrs. Kerry left vacant a place on our Board of Trustees, at which she had served for many years. We were very fortunate in persuading Mrs. D. E. Frederick to fill this position. Although this report traditionally is limited to the events of the previous year, it is my duty to express both personally and in behalf of the Board of Trustees our deep regret at the death of two who were intimately associated with the organization. Mr. Richard Limerick, our junior Custodian on the municipal staff for the past two years, died suddenly on the second day of the new year, while our dear friend, Mr. Carl F . Gould, passed away two days later. It is almost unnecessary for me to stress in Seattle the important part that Mr. Gould had played in almost every phase of the artistic life of this city. He was one of the founders of the Fine Arts Society, from which this organization is descended. As President of both the Society and of the Art Institute of SeattJe into which it developed, he helped establish many of the traditions which the Museum has maintained. As architect, he played an essential part in the design of our building, while subsequently he had served as a member of the Board of Trustees. The place that was thus sadly left vacant has fortunately been filled by Mr. George H. Greenwood. We have also had the good fortune of having Mrs. A. Scott Bullitt accept the position left open by the resignation of Mrs. Frederick H . Parks on her departure from our city. In closing, there are still expressions of gratitude which are in order. Our relations with the Park Board and the various departments of the city government have invariably encountered fine coIO operation. My appreciation is due to the members for their support, and_! trust that they feel that we deserve their continued loyalty. I _wish to thar:ik both th~ P~st-Intelligencer and the Seattle Daily Times for their cooperat10n m spreading the news of our activities and especially for publishing each Sunday the art columns which are written by Mrs. Y c;iung and Mr. Callahan. I purposely omitted reference to the sp~e?~id work of Mrs. Young, the Educational Director, for her a~tivities are cover~d . in the following pages. Their scope, however, is so great and their mfluence so wide that without my assurance, it would b_ d~~cult for the reader to believe that they e are the product of her mdividual effort. I also acknowledge with gratitude the faithful assistance of the Board of Trustees and especially the loyal service of my fellow members of the staff on whose efficiency and initiative so much of our success depends. E. FULLER, President and Director. RICHARD II �REPORT OF THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT JANUARY TO DECEMBER, 1938 To THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF THE SEATTLE ART MUSEUM: The progress of ·an educational program depends not only on the amount of information that may be disseminated through the medium of lectures or through the written word, but also on the extent to which the material at its disposal is made available for the enjoyment and education of the public. Strictly speaking, the Museum itself offers an ample educational program if the entire public were trained to use it for that purpose. One can receive a liberal art education by conscientiously studying the exhibitions with their frequent changes, and especially so if one adds to the information contained in the labels by referring to the appropriate volumes in the Museum Library. But only a fraction of museum visitors adapt themselves to this method. The greater majority wish to have objects explained, points emphasized, or material reduced to simple art terms so that the assimilation is rendered easy and interesting. Then there is that far greater arena where museum education is carried to those who, through lack of interest or opportunity, have never seen a museum and whose knowledge of the world of art is limited to kindergarten vocabulary. In taking inventory of the year's work, this department wished to emphasize, not the number of lectures given, but the type of audience reached and the general scope of the program itself. More lectures have been delivered to schools and to out of town districts than ever before. A more varied audience has been reached, as can be seen from a few examples taken from the year's list: Boy and Girl Scouts, Home Economics classes at the University of Washington, Marine Hospital, Adult Teachers' groups, Women's Democratic Club, Insurance Women's Club, Institute of Government Research, University of Washington; Junior College, Victoria, B. C.; Japanese Junior Chamber of Commerce, Road Commissioners, Bon Marche employees, and so on. And to each of these groups, either lectures on some particular phase of art were given, or a general talk on the "Seattle Art Museum-an Asset to the Northwest." Fifty-three lectures were delivered out of the city, in Tacoma, Toppenish, Buena, Sunnyside, Zillah, Prosser, Grandview, Puyallup, Kent, Walla Walla, Poqlsbo, Carnation, Everett, Auburn, Pasco, Kennewick, Raymond, Yakima, Victoria, B. C., Tieton, Renton and Monroe. I2 As State Chairman of Art for the Federation of Women's Clubs I have arranged a number of exhibitions of Washington artists' wo~k throughout the state. These exhibits reached districts that have few opportunities to visit the Museum. I attended the Annual Convention at Walla "'."a~la, wh~re. I was speaker at the Fine Arts banquet, and took an. exhibit of pam~mgs by Seattle school children and by the Women Pamters of W ashmgton to the Convention. As State Chairman for the New York Fair's High School Poster Contest I sent information to schools throughout the state and received the posters for judging. The winning posters were sent to New York. . Radio talks were given each week over KJR and on special occas10ns over KXA, KOL, KIRO and KEEN. The Children's Story Hour was held each Saturday morning from October through May the attendance varying with the weather from fifty to one hundred and fifty children. That most. important pa~t of our program, School Docent, was in. terrupted this year by a disagreement between the School System ~nd the City Bus Lines. Docent was given to the children of the public schools from January to May only, under the chairmanship of Mrs. John Dallas Reagh. On an average of four afternoons a week Seventh and Eighth grade children and some from out of tow~ were taken on conducted tours through the Museum. 3 673 children received t~is .valuable service, and I wish to express m~ most grateful appreciation to the Docent Committee, which consisted of Mrs. Of ell Johnson, Mrs. Donald Cornu, Mrs. Everett Crane, Miss Catherine Evans, Mrs. Joseph Gandy, Mrs. A. E. Hennessy, Mrs. Charles E ..Martin, Mrs. Charles R. Matthews, Mrs. Freeman Scharr, Mrs. Willard .Skeel, Mrs. Elizabeth Smithson, Mrs. W. D. Vanderbilt, Mrs: Br.ta? W attleworth and Mrs. John Dallas Reagh, chairman. Their willmgness to be of service whenever called upon has been a constant source of inspiration. Sunday afternoon lectures and Study Guild lectures were shared with Dr. Fuller. This year, a new field of endeavour has been entered upon by this department; a weekly article is written for the ~unday Post-Intelligencer. No attempt is made to achieve great literary excellence, but only to make the material interesting to the layman and to stimula~e an inquiring mind. It has been gratifying to learn that teachers m Seattle schools as well as in other cities reached by that paper, post these articles on the bulletin boards and ~any have made scrap-books of them. Miss Clara Reynolds, Supervisor of Art for the Seattle Public Schools, wrote to the editor of the Post-Intelligencer and told him that she was calling the attention of her Art Department to the page and considered the article of value for the children's study. IJ �One of the most satisfying tasks of the Educational Department is the monthly meeting held in our Auditorium for Parent-Teacher Association members and their friends. The room is filled to capacity each month, and about one-third of the number have attended each meeting for the past six years. There is an hour's lecture, illustrated with slides, moving pictures or paintings, and then a tour of the current exhibit follows. The Museum has given each year large framed colored reproductions to the schools that have had the greatest per cent of membership attending. This last year, West Seattle High, James Madison Junior High, Fauntleroy and McDonald Grade Schools carried off the honors. In summing up the lectures given this past year, two hundred and two were delivered out of the Museum, one hundred and one of these to schools, and fifty-three out of town. Sixty lectures were given in the Museum. In addition, there were eleven Study Guild lectures, thirty-three Saturday story hours, nine Sunday lectures and forty-eight radio broadcasts, making a total of three hundred and sixty-three lectures, of which twenty-seven were given in the evening. Most of these talks were illustrated with slides, motion pictures or material from the Museum's collection. My work has been made much lighter by the patient and untiring devotion of Mrs. Coe Malone, to those duties which are seldom noticed but serve to make the wheels of any program run smoothly. The knowledge that daily more friends are being made for the Seattle Art Museum and that through its open doors a new world is in evidence for many serves as a fountain of inspiration for the work to come.

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> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Besozzi Kate Hanske Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Seattle Art Museum Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1933-present Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Michael Besozzi Kate Hanske Traci Timmons Language A language of the resource English Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 1933-present Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In each of these three main objectives, we can safely claim very definite achievements, even though the word "support" bears financial implications. In fact , it is in this latter phase of our activity that the past year has been most notable, thanks to the initiative and faithful services of the Membership Committee, which made marked progress towards the relief of this constant burden. Civic Relations There is no major change to report in regard either to the building or to its equipment. In like manner , our routine relationship with the municipal authorities has been uneventful, and has been marked only by increasing smoothness in our daily operation, thanks 'to the splendid cooperation of the Park Department. We have also continued to have the faithful service of the Police Department, although a change in the detail caused Officer Osborn to take the place of Officer Forlefer. On the other hand . however, the electrical service for which our organization pays the American District Telegraph Company to protect the building and the collections at night against both fire and theft, has been made more positive by improvements which were installed at our expense. Although wear and tear are unavoidable with the passage of years, the building and its equipment have been excellently maintained by our loyal and efficient engineering staff. We are, however, planning for two major physical improvements in the coming summer. In the first place, we expect to have the surface of the building treated with a waterproofing preservative, which for years has been used to protect most of the stone public buildings of Great Britain. In doing so, we will, without doubt, greatly increase the potential life of the building. The other change is due to ~he need of additional movable racks on which paintings are hung in our storeroom. These two projects will not be noticeable in their ultimate effect, so far as the qdi 4 nary v1s1tor is concerned, although they will cause either some temporary disfigurement of the building or some noise while they are taking place. The fact , however, that is possibly most important to the city is that the expense will be borne by the donors 1 of the building. Exhibitions Realizing that it is quite impossible to have exhibitions that would invariably please all tastes , we have continued to be extremely catholic in our selection. We have made a point of interspersing in our schedule each month material that is sufficiently literal in its appeal to be enjoyed by the uninitiated. I want you to realize that we consider many exhibits to be worthy of interest as showing the progress of contemporary art, even though the included items may fail to attain the rigorous standard for which we strive in our permanent accessions. In spite of our purpose of encouraging an appreciation of the best in art without prejudice to any school, we have occasionally met the criticism of those who have become incensed by the fact that we did not confine our activities to the narrow scope of their own interests. Since transient exhibitions play such an important part in our activities, I feel that our membership should have some knowledge of the mechanism by which they are obtained. In the past, we have often shown exhibitions that were sponsored by national organizations, of which the College Art Association and the American Federation of Arts were the most prominent. The individual galleries participating in a circuit were responsible for transportation one way and insurance, in addition to a fee to cover the cost of assembly. This year, the former of these national organizations has ceased to function in that capacity, while the latter has altered the scope of its activities to a marked extent. This change has emphasized the importance of the Western Association of Art Museum Directors, so far as the museums and galleries west of the Rocky Mountains are concerned. For the past three years, the responsibility for that organization has rested on the Seattle Art Museum. For two years, I was the President. Now, Dr. Grace L. McCann Morley, of the San Francisco Museum of Art, has that office, but Mrs. J. G. Liston, my secretary, remains as the Executive Secretary of the Association. Previously this organization has endeavored to circuit exhibits in competition with the various national organizations, but now 5 �it has developed into a clearing house for arranging exhibition circuits with the specific purpose of planning the most efficient itinerary. In doing so, the exhibition schedules of the various organizations must be accommodated, and the material must finally be delivered to its source, which may be a museum, a private collection, the studio of an artist, or a commercial gallery. In each case, the expense of each move is recorded, and the final figure is prorated among the organizations participating, so that each gallery is responsible for an equal charge, while the Association is entitled to a small handling fee for the service. Thanks to the conscientious service and the efficiency of Mrs. Liston, the activities of this organization have grown from a single exhibition to a point where they are almost national in scope, with over seventy-five exhibitions in circuit, serving about fifty museums and smaller galleries. than the technical ability of an artist to attain a photographic likeness. Since the renown of an artist depends on his ability to achieve an individual quality in his painting, the originality recognized in a painting may, at times, be over-estimated, in the hope that it will encourage some budding genius. In our own exhibition schedule, we again had to depend largely on our very extensive collection of facsimiles to represent the classic art of the Occident, while many of our current exhibitions stressed the work of some of the most noted of our contemporary painters, both here and abroad. For three of these exhibitions, we are indebted to commercial galleries. I wish to take this opportu nity of acknowledging our gratitude to the Walker Galleries of New York for the paintings by Joe Jones; the Hatfield Galleries of the same city for those of Russell Cowles, and the Courvoisier Galleries of San Francisco for the lithographs of Stow Wengenroth. As usual, the jury for the selection of this exhibition and for the awards was chosen from professional ranks, and consisted of Mr. Carl F. Gould, Chairman; Mr. Walter F. Isaacs, Professor of Art at the University of Washington; Mrs. Halley Savery, Curator of the Henry Gallery on the campus of the University; Mr. Frederick A. Sweet, Director of the Portland Art Museum; and myself as ex-officio member. Once again, we are indebted to the West Seattle Art Club for their purchase prize of $100, in memory of Katherine B. Baker. This prize was awarded to Angela S. Ryan, of Pullman, Washington, for her "Still Life." The second award in oil, of $50, donated by our organization, was won by Earl Fields, for his "Study Hour," while our first prize in watercolor, of $75, was won by Pauline Johnson, of Ellensburg, for "The Red Apple." The first award in sculpture, of $50, for which we must again thank the Music and Art Foundation, was won by Mary Erckenbrack Hennessy for "Strife." Accessions In the autumn, the Twenty-third Annual Exhibition of Northwest Artists, as usual, emphasized the creative talent of our local artists. The five galleries in the north wing, which we devoted to this exhibit, permitted the hanging of only about a quarter of the items which were submitted. It is unavoidable that the results should, therefore, bring disappointment to many. Although the jury always endeavors to be catholic in its choice, it unquestionably values the relationship of color and form more Our most notable accession of the past year introduced the Museum collection to a field which we, in the past, have been forced to neglect, so far as original material is concerned. Through the generosity of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, we received a painting by Marco D'Oggiono, a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci. In subject, it depicts the Madonna and Child with Infant St. John, but what is most notable is the exceptional beauty attained in the color and design of this Milanese painting, which has survived in most perfect condition since the beginning of the 16th Century. In Occidental art, we have also received a landscape by Derain, the great French contemporary artist, done in a sketchy style in oil; and two watercolor landscapes by Pechstein, the noted contemporary German expressionist. These items were added to the Fuller Collection, as were also four paintings and two sculptures which were purchased from local artists. In addition, we received as a gift from Mrs. Reginald H. Parsons, a painting of a "Factory Village," by Horace Brown. The Fuller Collection of prints was augmented by eight items by contemporary artists. 6 7 We again enjoyed the annual exhibition of Northwest Printmakers, for whom we act as custodian for their purchase awards. The competitive exhibition of arts and crafts, which was inaugurated in the previous year, did not bring forth sufficient material to justify us in making it an annual event. Through the cooperation of the Seattle Branch of the National Early American Glass Society, we had the privilege last spring of showing an excellent collection of early American glass, which was generously lent by local collectors. �The Oriental collection was again strengthened by a number of items of importance. Numerically, the most. extensive group consisted of Chinese jade, which ranged in age from near the close of the Chou Dynasty (5th-3rd Century, B.C.) to the days of the Imperial Court in the 18th Century. The individual pieces are principally small items of exceptional quality, workmanship and design. Possibly the most outstanding of those of later origin are a pair of Imperial plates of grey-green jade, cut to incredible thinness, and a pair of white jade bracelets, each carved as three loosely twisted strands, that were intended to grace the hand of an Empress. Of the earlier pieces, the largest and possibly the most important is a strongly sculptured camel, of grey to brownish stone, potentially justifying an attribution to the 8th Century, although it may be considerably later. Our pottery from the tombs of the T'ang Dynasty had some additions of world importance. One of these was a large bullock cart, glazed in color, showing how the foreign trader of the 8th or 9th Century brought his wares to China. Of about the same period, a prancing horse, with the finest of trappings, and a man with a brilliant blue coat, are both additions which I consider unequalled in their respective classes. Two other items from China deserve mention this year, and each is alone in its class. We were fortunate in acquiring a large fragment of bone decoration from a vessel of the Shang-Yin Dynasty (18th-12th Century, B.C.). In low relief, this shows the familiar motif of the so-called ogre's head. The other piece represents our only accession of the year in Oriental sculpture, outside of the realm of pottery. This graceful sandstone Bodhisattva, with its strong influence of India, is typical of one of the finest phases of sculpture found in the 8th Century rock-hewn cave temples of north central China. Since that isolated region is extremely arid, the remarkable freshness of the piece is not incongruous. Although its origin may be difficult to prove, its authenticity has been fully accepted by some of the greatest authorities, who consider it to be one of the most important known examples of its class. Additional Oriental accessions may seem pointless to some, and to my mind, they would be, if they did not either fill historical gaps in our collection or excel in quality. Although an appreciation of their message can rarely be attained by a casual glance, I am sure that with prolonged familiarity, they will gradually permit more and more of our visitors to grasp the scope of at least some phases of the artistic heritage of the world. We also acquired a few additional examples of antique Chinese ceramics. From the viewpoint of the present-day connoisseur, the most important item is a Sung Dynasty bowl of Honan ware, of about the 12th Century, showing both the so-called tortoise shell and hare's fur glaze of supreme quality. This piece was presented by Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson. We were fortunate in being able to continue the practice of exchanging items in our collection when they were superseded in importance. With the very generous cooperation of Yamanaka and Company of New York, we thus acquired an exceptionally fine large painted pottery jar, dating approximately from the end of the Han Dynasty, 2nd or 3rd Century A.D., and an equally important bronze mirror of about the same age. In addition, from other sources, we acquired several early bronze mirrors and one exceptional circular bronze box cover, showing in silver inlay, an elaborate and complex design of the latter centuries of the Chou Dynasty (5th-3rd Century, B.C.). Our only two Oriental paintings consisted of a large Chinese landscape, dating from about the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in the 14th Century; and a Japanese painting of a hawk that can be attributed with fair assurance to Oguri Sotan, a master of the 15th Century. Japan is also represented by a screen decorated with an ink drawing of a tiger and bamboo. During the past year, we have brought several lecturers of national and international prominence to Seattle. The University of Washington cooperated with us in granting us the use of Meany Hall for a lecture by Rockwell Kent on "Art Is For Everybody," and also for one on "The Royal River," by Captain John B. Noel. In the fall, the University also cooperated with us in bringing to our city Dr. Alfred Salmony, the noted Orientalist. Dr. Salmony gave the five initial lectures to our Study Guild in their course on Persian Art, tracing the development of art motives from pre-historic times to the days of Darius the Great. Dr. Salmony gave two Monday evening lectures and two on Sunday afternoon on various phases of early Oriental Art. We also had lectures by Dr. A . Philip McMahon, on "The Fundamentals of Art Criticism," and by John Butler ort "Federal Participation in 8 9 The responsibility for the cataloguing which these accessions demand, and the care of the collection fall s on the shoulders of my Assistant Director, Mr. Kenneth Callahan. To confirm this duty, in addition to his executive and literary services, Mr. Callahan now bears the appropriate title of Curator. Lectures I �the Arts." The honorariums for these outside lecturers were largely made possible by the Lecture Fund, which Mrs. Reginald H. Parsons has so generously augmented from year to year. The expenses for Dr. Salmony, however, were in part borne by Museum funds. The remaining eighteen public lectures at the Museum, aside from those of the Study Guild, were shared by Mrs. A. M. Young and myself. I am glad to say that our attendance was, for the most part, most encouraging, although the Monday evening lectures did not always have the full response for which we hoped. Library Last year, I mentioned that our Librarian, Miss Jean P. Black, had left for a six months' leave of absence at the Hoover War Memorial Library at Leland Stanford University. The further extension of her research work caused us to confirm the appointment of Miss Nannette Tibbals as her successor. During the past year, we have acquired by purchase and gift, nearly all the outstanding current publications on art, while our slides have been augmented by over a thousand, most of which met the needs of the various courses of the Study Guild. Our continually growing collection of mounted reproductions is serving an even larger number of schools and art organizations, who turn to us for assistance. This service is not confined to Seattle, but has been enjoyed by many communities throughout the state. Education Study Guild Since the fiscal year of the Study Guild closes each spring at the end of their program, it is my custom to review in my report their current activities, even though the period covered does not coincide with that of the year. Under the able and conscientious chairmanship of Mrs. Lyman Tondel, the Guild has succeeded in even excelling the fine standard which, in the past, has done so much to extend the interest and influence of the Museum. This year, the Program Committee, under the talented leadership of Mrs. Bayley Willis, presented five courses of study, offering in all, sixty-nine lectures, which were held in the Auditorium. The Museum assumed the responsibility for the Survey of Persian Art. The five initial lectures in this course were delivered, as previously mentioned, by Dr. Alfred Salmony, while Mrs. Young ' and I are presenting the others. The other courses of the year, on Gothic Art, Japanese Prints, Glass and American Paintings are respectively under the guidance of Mrs. Donald Cornu, Mrs. Benjamin Reed, Mrs. Walter Johnson and Mrs. Perry Johanson. Although some of the lectures for these courses are delivered by gifted members of the Guild, most of them are generously contributed by some of Seattle's leading authorities on various subjects. I wish to express our appreciation, not only of the speakers, but especially of the faithful services of the officers and the committee leaders of these courses. The increasing popularity which the lectures have encountered this year testifies to the success of the administration. The Study Guild, through these courses and through the Docent Committee, render invaluable assistance in making the Museum a vital factor. The accompanying report of the Educational Department testifies to accomplishments of which an extensive staff could well be proud. The results are almost superhuman, when one realizes that they have been attained almost single-handed by Mrs. Young. Her initiative and ability in this pioneer work have permitted her to open a new vista to many of the schools and cultural organizations throughout the Northwest. In her fine eaucational work, she is able to bring to the public a physical picture of many phases of art and history through slides and moving pictures. The constant demands for her time speak eloquently of her success in delivering her message and in increasing the interest in our work. To coincide more nearly with the scope of her duties and with popular usage, Mrs. Young's title has been changed from that of Supervisor of Education to Educational Director. In the spring, our membership committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson, organized a quiet campaign to increase our membership. With the assistance of Miss Margaret Prosser, they were successful in raising our membership during the course of the year from 7 00 to 115 9. One change in the policy had a bearing on this success; namely, that we decided to abandon our previous policy of demanding a scholastic qualification for the Associate membership. In spite of that change, however, our Active membership list was increased by nearly fifty per cent. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking those members who so generously contributed of their time and energy in the success of JO II Membership �this campaign. I especially wish to give my thanks to Mrs. Thomas D. Stimson and to Mr. J. C. Black for bearing the financial expenses incurred by this activity. To popularize an interest in the Museum and its activities, the Membership Committee published three copies of the "Membership News," under the experienced editorial guidance of Miss Prosser, with Mrs. Jesse Charles Johnson and Mrs. Harvey Lantz as Associate Editors. I am confident that this fine effort on the part of our friends did much to acquaint the city with our work, and that it attained a result which will be permanently reflected in the support and interest which our organization receives from the community. The gratifying success of our organization during the past year has depended, as it always will, on a community of effort. Aside from the invaluable assistance of the Study Guild and the Membership Committee, I wish to acknowledge my deep gratitude to my fellow members of the staff for their initiative and loyalty. Thanks are also due to our faithful friends of the local press for their cooperation, which plays an essential part in assisting our organization to pay dividends in terms of service to Seattle. Although I hope that many of our members feel themselves to be amply repaid, I wish to express my appreciation of the publicspirited generosity that has caused them to put their shoulders to the wheel in behalf of the Museum. In spite of the clouds which beset the world, I trust that we may count on their continued support. In closing, I wish to express both personally and in behalf of the Board of Trustees, our deep regret at the death of two of our esteemed members, Mr. A . S. Downey and Mr. D. E. Frederick. The place of these faithful friends has been taken by Mrs. Cebert Baillargeon and Mr. Kenneth B. Colman. REPORT OF THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT JANUARY TO DECEMBER, 1937 To THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF THE SEATTLE ART MUSEUM: In bringing this report before the Annual Meeting, I feel that it is necessary to outline the work that this department is attempting. There are certain duties that are the functions of all educational departments in every museum--docent or gallery tours to adults and to school children, lectures in the museum and children's story hours. Through the very valuable assistance of the Docent Group of the Study Guild, under the chairmanship of Mrs. John Dallas Reagh, school children have been taken through the Museum on an average of four afternoons a week. Frequently, two or more guides have been on duty at a time, conducting · Seventh and Eighth Grade children, who this year have numbered over 3300. I am glad to express my most grateful acknowledgment to the Docent Group, which consisted of Mrs. Donald Cornu, Mrs. Everett E . Crane, Miss Catherine Evans, Mrs. A . E. Hennessy, Mrs. Ofell Johnson, Mrs. Charles E . Martin, Mrs. Charles R. Matthews, Mrs. Freeman C. Scharr, Mrs. Willard E . Skeel, Mrs. Elizabeth Smithson, Mrs. Norma Stuchell, Mrs. Pieter van Dalen, Mrs. W. D . Vanderbilt and Mrs. Girvin B. Wait. The enthusiasm and willingness which t.hese members of the Stuay Guild have shown in their service has been an inspiration to all who have come in contact with them. Too much emphasis cannot be put on the value of these tours to the school system, for children and parents alike share the benefit. One has only to be reminded that five years ago there was no such service, and the thousands of children had little or no contact with the art education that is now so beautifully presented to them. The winter schedule of Sunday lectures was shared with Dr. Richard E. Fuller in the early part of the year, and with Dr. Alfred Salmony in November and December. The Children's Story Hour begins in October and continues through May for the entire school year. It is held every Saturday morning from 10: 00 to 11 :00. The attendance varies with the weather, from sixty to one hundred and fifty children. Moving pictures and slides illustrating the fine arts are used, stories are told, and this fall we introduced drawing. On some mornings, colored crayons and paper are given each child to draw some object in the galleries or illustrate a story told. No instruction is given; it is purely creative 12 13 �work. We hope some day to have an exhibition of these drawings. On the second Tllursday of the month, members from the many Parent-Teacher Associations meet for an hour's lecture followed by a gallery tour, when the current monthly exhibit is discussed. We have broken all records this year by having every seat filled and people standing. It is always free and open to the public. The Museum has been giving prizes of framed reproductions to those schools who have had the largest number of parents present. This last year, Gatewood School, on the South Side, won first prize; with Bryant, Ballard High, Roosevelt High, James Madison Junior High and John Marshall Junior High following. Last spring, Radio talks were given every week over KXA, and, since October, they have been given over KJR. Many phases of art are discussed from the current exhibits, arts and crafts, hobbies in art and the lives of famous artists. museums and art galleries in San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, to Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Williamsburg, whe.re I visited the work of reconstruction by the Rockefeller Foundation; Pittsburgh, Toledo, Chicago and Minneapolis. I talked with the Directors of Education in the museums where they have such departments, and with the Directors of the Museums regarding their work with the public, such as membership, lectures and docent. It has been a source of extreme gratification to find that only the museums having a large staff and ample appropriations are attempting the volume of educational work that this Museum sponsors. Respectfully submitted, MRS. A. M. YOUNG, Educational Director. As State Chairman of Art for the Federation of Women's Clubs, I have arranged a number of exhibitions of Washington artists' work throughout the state. This work promises to be most worthwhile and reaches many districts that have no other opportunity to see exhibits or to visit the Museum. In conjunction with this office, I was asked to take charge of National Art Week for the State and had many exhibits placed in stores and schools. Art programs have been prepared for clubs, and such assistance given as was possible to make their courses of study worth while. I attended the Annual Convention in Wenatchee, where I was one of the speakers, and took an exhibit of Seattle school children's work and paintings by the Women Painters of Washington, which were on display all that week. In summing up the various lectures given this past year, one · hundred seventy-six were given outside of the Museum, and thirty-eight of these were out of the city, nineteen were in the evening, and eighty-six in schools. Twenty-four radio talks were given, eleven Study Guild lectures, thirty-four Story Hours for children, nine Sunday lectures, three Monday evening lectures and eight Parent-Teacher lectures, with forty-eight special talks in the Museum to clubs·; making a total of three hundred and thirteen. Most of these talks were illustrated with slides or moving pictures from the Museum collection. Under the auspices of the Museum, I took a seven weeks' tour, visiting most of the lar~e museums in the country. I went south through California to the Portland Art Museum, the different 14 15 �FINANCIAL LECTURES January 17 January H January 29 January 31 February 7 February 14 February 21 February 28 March 7 March 14 .
