In his early years, Callahan was associated with the three other most celebrated artists of the region, Guy Anderson, Morris Graves and Mark Tobey.  Together they were labeled as the Northwest School, inspired by an article that appeared in a Life magazine article in 1953. Callahan remained connected to the Northwest always, portraying all that nature meant to him.  In the sixties, his portrayal of mountain peaks and clouds, scenes of heroic laborers and animals turbulently swirling gave way to abstraction and brighter colors, as in this painting.  Born in Spokane in 1906, Callahan died in Seattle in 1986.
