[edit] Skagit

I would really like to see a citation for the movement having been "based in small-town Skagit County, Washington". All of these artists spent considerable time in Seattle, where Tobey, for one, taught classes and had a studio; Callahan did murals there at the Marine Hospital. I don't doubt that they were influenced by the Skagit landscape, but that is a different matter than being based there.

Also, I wonder at the singling out of Tony Angell for mention beyond the "big four". I like his work, and it certainly has an affinity with some aspects of the Northwest School, but not as much so as James Washington, Jr., who I'd also consider a more important figure. - Jmabel | Talk 06:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
