"The American public, which used to be interested solely in foreign and imitative work, has readily acquired a strong interest in the distinctly indigenous art of its own land;...This is no mere chauvinism. If it is patriotic, it is so because a feeling for one's own milieu and for the validity of one's own life and its surroundings is patriotic." -Grant Wood, "Revolt Against the City", 1935
What is the Seattle Milieu? Or the Seattle Nabe (I hear it's a synonym)? And how much does it affect the glass art that is made here?
