Fourth of the Big Four or Pacific Northwest “mystics,” as Life magazine dubbed them in 1953, Guy Irving Anderson (1906-1998) remained the most reclusive. He was also the only one who retained the mythic idealism of the classical male fi gure when his colleagues Mark Tobey and Kenneth Callahan and ex-lover Morris Graves shifted to mandalas, ocean waves and still lifes à la Francisco de Zurbarán.
