Kay Buckner
(American, born 1935, died 2012)
Location: Bethel High School, Spanaway
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Clear Cut is part of a series of paintings by artist Kay Buckner inspired by childhood memories of Seattle. Using a child's point of view to emphasize and exaggerate the steep slopes of terraced lawns, the imagery was composed both from recollection and imagination. Buckner states: "Quiet moments anticipating the arrival of a bus provide opportunity to meditate on landscape and architecture."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Bethel School District.
