Washington after training in Paris and working in Europe, Australia, Hawaii, and
California. Patterson founded the University of Washington's School of Painting and
Design and instructed in the European academic method for nearly thirty years.
Traditionally considered an Impressionist and historically remembered as the first
modern painter to arrive in Seattle, Patterson continued to produce work based on
European conventions of modernism long after his departure from the Parisian avantgarde.
Patterson's experience is demonstrative of the artistic diversity and opportunities
for European-trained artists in Seattle during the early to mid-twentieth century, which
have often been overshadowed by the idea of a dominant Northwest School and the
emerging construction of American modernism. / Committee in Charge: Dr. Joyce Cheng, Chair;
