Iridescent Light: The Emergence of Northwest Art
Former Seattle newspaper art critic Ament profiles a series of 20 artists active in Washington State during the formative periods of their careers, moving from the 1930s forward. Beginning with painters Mark Tobey (1890-1976) and Morris Graves (1910-2001) and including many lesser-known artists, the works of this loosely defined Northwest School reflected the area's isolation, marine landscape, and diffused light. After a brief introduction, Ament provides appreciative chapters on the artists, only a minority of whom won recognition outside the region. (Randlett, whose photographs illustrate much of the book, is one of those profiled.) Based on firsthand knowledge and interviews, the book provides a real feeling for the individual artists. $45.00 |

MORRIS GRAVES: Flower Paintings
Presenting an overview of the lesser known later flower paintings by noted Northwest visionary artist Morris Graves (b. 1910), covering selected works from 1938 through 1992. The art critic Theodore Wolff has contributed a thoughtful analysis of these paintings, and characterizes them as a summary of the artist's lifelong attempt to translate the spiritually ineffable into pictorial form.$39.95 |

New children’s book about the life of German artist Joseph Albers is now available at the Morris Graves Museum of Art Gift Shop.
As a child, Josef Albers loved to watch his handyman father paint houses. When Josef grew up and became an artist, he reduced each image to its simplest shapes, breaking it down into blocks of color. He made an incredible discovery: he could alter the entire mood of a painting just by changing the way he combined the colors! Josef spent his entire life studying color, and what he found revolutionized the way people look at art. |

Romano Gabriel was born in Mura, Italy, in 1887 and worked with his father as an apprentice furniture maker. He set off for America in 1913. After his arrival in the United States, Romano served in World War I and then settled in Eureka, California, where he worked as a carpenter and gardener. During his later years, Romano worked continuously from 1940 to early 1970, cultivating a wooden garden of unique sculptural forms that obscured his house. He was a mystery, communicating with the world by using his woodworking talents. Romano Gabriel died on March 17, 1977. The day he died, notification arrived from the California Arts Council that the wooden sculpture garden had been designated as an important piece of folk art. The Romano Gabriel Wooden Sculpture Garden is permanently housed on Second Street in the historic old town of Eureka, California. |

Barbara Kerley grew up in Virginia. After college, she joined the Peace Corps, teaching English, math and science in Nepal. Later, she and her husband moved to Guam, where Barbara taught English, learned to SCUBA dive, and had a baby. They left Guam and moved to California when their daughter Anna was eight months old. Several years later, while on a long car trip, Anna began asking questions about Guam. Barbara's first children's book, Songs of Papa’s Island, grew out of that afternoon. The Morris Graves Museum of Art currently carries Greetings From Planet Earth, A Little Peace, You and Me Together, and A Cool Drink of Water. |

Arcata (Images of America) (Paperback)
Book Description
Arcata, a bright jewel surrounded by the redwood forested hills of northern Humboldt Bay, was once the territory of the Wiyot Indians. The tribe only barely survived massacres and relocation after a town was founded there in 1850, a supply point for gold seekers at nearby mines. That town soon evolved into a center for a thriving lumber industry that fed sawmills and a barrel factory, and dairies that prospered on the pastoral Arcata Bottom. Home to Humboldt State University and the much loved Humboldt Crabs baseball team, Arcata is attracting new businesses, industries, and national attention for its innovative Arcata Marsh public works project. $19.99

Jessie Faulkner serves as public relations manager for the Humboldt County Historical Society and is also a history columnist for the Times Standard newspaper and the Humboldt Historian. |

Eureka and Humboldt County, Ca (Paperback)
Book Description
The cry amongst the redwoods, Eureka!, was the shout heard from early pioneers in 1850 as they came to settle in Humboldt County. Discovery of gold permanently changed the areaís history, and eventually lead to the extraction of Humboldt’s other natural resource: the ìred goldî of its forests. Captured here in over 200 vintage photographs is the pictorial history of this bountiful county and its residents. ÝÝAs the gold fever faded in the late 1800s, Humboldt Countyís primary source of industry became the lumbering of its vast redwoods. Pictured here are the men and machines that felled, transported, and milled the lumber, as well as photographs of the elegant Victorian mansions of the industryís lumber barons, such as William Carson. Weaving the history of Humboldt County together are the stories of its earliest residents, including the Native American tribes, fevered Gold Rushers, the early Chinese community, railroad workers, shipyard sailors, and industrious farming families, all of whom created the foundation it prospers on today. $19.99
About the Author
Using photographs exclusively from the Clarke Historical Museum in Eureka, curator Pamela Service and historian Raymond W. Hillman have preserved the history of Eureka and Humboldt County through this new title in Arcadiaís Images of America series. |

Ferndale (Images of America) (Paperback)
Book Description
The enchanting “Victorian Village” of Ferndale in the Eel River Valley is designated a “Distinctive Destination” by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and is a California Historical Landmark. Named by its founders, the Shaw brothers, to honor the six-foot-tall ferns that once choked the thickly forested valley floor, the town became a vital center for goods bound by water for San Francisco and a crossroads for stages to Eureka and Bear River. For many years after the Shaws first paddled their canoe across the Eel River in 1852, travelers forded it by ferry. This changed when Fernbridge was constructed in 1911, at that time the longest reinforced concrete–arch span bridge in the world. $19.99
About the Author
Drawing on the large photographic collections of the Ferndale Museum, this book traces the history of the entire valley, including Port Kenyon, Arlynda, Centerville, Grizzly Bluff, Waddington, and the Wildcat, from the first colorful Carpenter Gothic home built by Seth Shaw in 1854 to the fantastic Christmas Lighted Tractor Parade of today. |
