U.S. Northwest Called 'Big Outdoor Museum'
That is how Nancy Corwin, instructor in art history, described the American Northwest. Lecturing in "Great Cities and Their Art" series, Miss Corwin spoke on Seattle, Washington, and Alaska.
Using illustrated slides, she presented scenes of Seattle, a prime example of the "giant green house," the American Northwest.
"... A giant outdoor museum and greenhouse."

Seattle is filled with many lakes and is surrounded on three sides by mountains, Miss Corwin explained. The extreme green foliage and vegetation of the area is due to the great amount of rainfall, she said.
Showing slides of the Seattle World's Fair, she described the science pavilion which originally housed the U.S. science displays, as an example of the latter type of art.
Miss Corwin said the American northwest is characterized by several types of art, including Eskimo art, Indian art, and art reflecting oriental influences.
The pavilion, which became a permanent structure of the city, was designed by Yamasaki, a noted Japanese-American architect.
"It makes a blend of oriental atmosphere — gardens, etc. — and gothic spirit — all blended into a modern idiom," said Miss Corwin.
One of the outstanding examples of domestic architecture, she said, are the "colorful, picturesque houseboats." A colony of houseboats is located right in the center of the city, she said.
Miss Corwin said the original influence can also be found in many paintings and drawings by Washington artists.
Speaking of the Indian art. Miss Corwin said the totem poles were not made in Seattle but were made by the Indians who lived farther north. She described the poles as characterized by "crude, flat, doll-like figures."
Comparing the Eskimos and the Northwest Indians, she described the Eskimos as being more closely related to the orientals. Showing an example of an Eskimo mask, Miss Corwin said the masks were "very fanciful, unsymmetrical, and often incorporated feathers mixed with the wood and moving parts."
Wood was most often used in Indian art work, Miss Corwin said. Copper, which was often used to decorate the statues, was considered a status symbol, she said.
She said the small Eskimo carvings were more for personal use. She said they often used greenish, grayish and blackish stone. Miss Corwin described the Eskimo carvings as simplified and heavy in appearance.
