Paul Horiuchi
American, born Japan 1906 - 1999
Label TextPaul Horiuchi was one of the leading modern artists of the Pacific Northwest after World War II, developing a bold and dynamic brand of abstraction that was defined by collage rather than paint and brush. As with other artists of his generation, abstraction was a perfect vehicle for speculations on nature, culture, and other universal themes during uncertain times, allowing the viewer room for his or her own associations.
