Seattle sources

edit

In a 1980 advertisement for the Danish Gallery, where Elliott was often exhibited, there are mentions of two Seattle sources: 1) "Elliott's paintings fit no ism". Thelma Lehman, Art Critic, Seattle Post, 1963. 2) "Elliott's paintings transcend human experience". T. Robbins, Art Critic, Seattle Times, 1965. These sources are likely only available on microfilm at the Seattle Public Library. Curiocurio (talk) 22:16, 2 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Elliott donated 100 of his paintings to Doris Shadbolt, then a curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery. They remained in the basement of the gallery until 1985, when they were given in trust to John Anderson, an artist-curator. Eighteen of these works were shown in the exhibition, Painting Against Time, curated by Anderson and Jennifer Kostuik. Curiocurio (talk) 22:16, 2 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
