Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Seattle-born artist Don Paulson (1933-2012) was a painter in the Pop Art style, sometimes using the pseudonym "Whitey Boom." His work is in the collections of institutions like the Seattle Art Museum and the Anchorage Art Museum. After attending Auburn High School, Paulson served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. In 1960s New York, he was involved with Andy Warhol's Factory and attended the first public performance by the Velvet Underground. Discovering the lightshow scene upon his return to Seattle in 1966, he founded Lux Sit and Dance. This collective used projectors, fog machines, prisms, colored liquids, and other paraphernalia to create their light effects, and worked with bands like Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, and the Byrds. Paulson was also a member of E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology), an organization that supported art-science collaborations and encouraged artists to explore new technologies. In addition to his art, Paulson also was an authority on the early gay underground in Seattle, contributing to the Seattle Gay News and co-authoring the book An Evening at the Garden of Allah: A Gay Cabaret in Seattle in 1996. He was active in Black and White Men Together, a gay interracial organization.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The collection consists of a wide variety of ephemera gathered by the collector in Seattle over more than three decades. It includes posters taken from telephone poles, leaflets handed out on city streets, newsletters and other publications from activist groups, and many other types of materials. The subject matter is mainly political -- anti-war activism, gay rights, women's liberation, environmentalism, labor unions, etc. -- although there are other topics represented like missing pets and event announcements.

Paulson alluded to the broad nature of the subject matter represented when he described the collection as being "dedicated to everyone who ever participated in a protest March, attended a vigil, campaigned for Peace, Justice, Liberation, Human or Animal Rights, saved the Planet, welcomed the New Age, fought against Racism, Sexism, Ageism, Homophobia and Abuse. And to anyone whose voice wanted to be heard in a world too often refusing to listen."

Note from the collector:

How I Came to Collect Seattle Handbills

In the middle of the 1960s I became aware of the social political climate building in America, personified by the Civil Rights movement, the anti Viet Nam War forces and later the Counter Culture. I began to collect samples of this angst, etc., in the form of handbills (leaflets and flyers). They range from garage sales and lost pets to anti war rallies, liberation movement, ecology and new wave thinking. I walked several thousand miles collecting the 10,000 plus handbills one at a time from telephone poles and bulletin boards in the Seattle area, especially from Capitol Hill and the University District.

Thanks to the refinement of the [Xerox] machine, the spirit of Thomas Paine flooded the American fabric with handbills. It was a huge paper explosion from an extraordinary diverse public -- everyone suddenly had a cheap printing press all their own! It was truly the voice of the people on a national and unprecedented scale. All across America people were dealing with a staggering amount of issues and other radicalizing forces. Since it was happening everywhere, Seattle could be a good example of this silent revolution of paper.

Vashon Island historian Garland Norin wrote: "Your thesis that grassroots handbills throughout a quarter of a century period truly focuses on issues that eventually brought about social and political change. Your proposed book on handbills shows the power of the movement and its expansiveness. Your record of this worldwide time of discontent as illustrated by handbills reveals the historical significance of this picture form of communication."

I hoped to put the best examples in a picture book someday so I [xeroxed] the best examples of years 1967 to 1996 as a mock up for the book. It was to be titled Democracy in Action.

...This paper explosion is basically over, with the Internet taking its place. The passion represented by these handbills has subsided by comparison, also.
