Description :

"August 1984" ("Makah Bay") from Pacific Northwest photographer Mary Randlett. Though best known for her portraiture of Northwest artistic figures such as Mark Tobey and Tom Robbins, her oeuvre also included dramatic landscapes. This photo falls into the latter category & shows the sun setting over the ocean at the far Northwest tip of Washington State where the Makah tribe lives. Regarding the photo she stated, "I saw a wonderful molten river-like form on the sandy beach and the beautiful clouds and forms dancing in the light...everywhere I saw a photograph."

Photographer Mary Randlett (1924-2019) created iconic compositions focused on the prominent figures, landscape and architecture of the Pacific Northwest. She is well known for her portraiture of the artists that comprised the "Northwest School" movement of the 1930s and 40s. Over forty national institutions hold her work in their collections. These include the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C, and the University of Washington in Seattle. She received the Artist Trust Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. - Arts.WA.Gov
