�REPORT OF THE
PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR
FOR THE YEAR 1934
IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, the Annual Reports have been devoted
either to a statement of hopes or to an account of some of the many
changes and innovations which were necessitated by the expansion
of our organization. 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.

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.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. A. M. YouNG.

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