Label TextAlong with Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, and Guy Andersen, Callahan was a founder of the ‘Pacific Northwest’ School of American painters. Beginning in the 1930s, they combined elements from Surrealism, Magic Realism, and especially nature itself, each in a very personal style. Callahan was able to represent modest objects and creatures, imbued with the vital energy of nature.ProvenanceMaynard Walker Gallery, New York, NYOn View
