John Cole: The Enduring Northwest Landscape

John Cole is a painter whose canvases, building on the compositional and coloristic freedom of the 20th-century masters, evoke the natural world of the Northwest in its rugged variety. This catalogue of retrospective exhibition at the Whatcom Museum of History & Art samples thirty years of his painting and graphic work; it includes images of such diverse natural features as towering Alaskan glaciers and rushing Oregon waterfalls.
