BiographyGuy Anderson showed an interest in art and other cultures from an early age. He studied with Eustace Ziegler (1881-1969) then in 1929 won a Tiffany and Co. Foundation scholarship to study painting at the Tiffany estate on Long Island, New York. On his return to Seattle, he worked a variety of jobs until 1939 when he was hired as an instructor at the Spokane Art Center, part of the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project. After World War II, Anderson continued to support himself by teaching in Seattle and La Conner, Washington. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1975. Anderson is best known as one of the group of artists prominent in the mid-20th century labeled The Northwest Mystics because of their shared interests in Asian aesthetics, the spiritual or mystical possibilities of art, and muted colors.
