Gaylen Hansen: Three Decades Of Paintings

Although Gaylen Hansen was raised on a Utah farm in the 1920s and has lived in rural eastern Washington for five decades, his friendly, whimsical artwork has been exhibited in cities worldwide, including New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Jakarta, Singapore, and Beijing. This new retrospective includes an engaging interview with the artist and a highly personal selection of more than twenty of his paintings--most never publicly shown--along with some old favorites. Gaylen Hansen: Three Decades of Paintings is being released in conjunction with a two-part exhibit held simultaneously at Washington State University's Museum of Art in Pullman and the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane, before traveling to the Seattle Art Museum in October 2007 and the Salt Lake Art Center in 2008.
