Motifs: The background shows Totemic Drift (1955), a painting by Kenneth Callahan (born in Spokane /Washington (USA) in 1905, deceased in Seattle in 1986), while a sculpture by David Hare (Man with Drum, height approx. 60 cm, year 1948) is featured in the foreground.
The exhibition was staged under the protection of the U.S.I.A. (United States Information Agency). The works were chosen by Seattle Art Museum. Four painters from the west (Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Kenneth Callahan, Guy Anderson) and four sculptors from New York (Rhys Caparn, David Hare, Seymour Lipton, Ezio Martinelli) were featured in the exhibition.
In the preface to the catalogue Richard E. Fuller, the director of Seattle Art Museum, mentions that the works "speak the international language of art". After Paris, the exhibition was also shown at the museum of Saint-Étienne.
