Magical realism in Northwest art is a thread from today going back in time. Another name is Northwest visionary art. Today it is MSHR and Bruce Conkle. Morris Graves. Of course, the first art here was magical realism in the form of Northwest petroglyphs.
Tonight you have the opportunity to go back in time on that thread to the mid 20th Century, in the work of the late Carl Hall. He came to Oregon at age 21, and one of his paintings was acquired by the Whitney at age 26. He taught for many years in Salem, passing in 1996.
