Undated photograph of what appears to be a lacquered wood sculpture of a female oriental head by Allan Clark. Allan Clark was one of the most famous artists to be produced by the Northwest. Although he also was known as a painter, architect and a teacher, he is best remembered as a sculptor. His figures reflected his world travels, especially in the Orient where he studied from 1924-27, and his studies of Native Americans, observed during his 20 years as a resident of Santa Fe, NM. He was born in 1896 in Montana, but grew up in Tacoma, attending Stadium High School and Puget Sound College. He was killed in a car accident in 1950, at the age of 53, while driving from his New Mexico home to Tacoma to visit his ailing father. CLARK-004
