Walter F. Isaacs
born Gillespie, Illinois, 1886; died Seattle, Washington, 1964
Isaacs was a member of the Group of Twelve, a loose association of Seattle artists in the 1910s and 1920s interested in modern art. His paintings and teachings were grounded in the formal principles of the French Postimpressionist painters, such as Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) and Henri Matisse (1869-1954) who he had studied in Paris. His focus differed from his better-known and more mystical contemporaries of the Northwest School, who were more interested in regional environmental influences.
