| Caption | Painter Mark Tobey developed an affinity for Pike Place Market after moving to Seattle in 1923 to teach art at the Cornish School. Though his life and work took him as far away as China, Japan and Switzerland, he returned to Seattle and the Market many times. During World War II Tobey moved back to Seattle and created several paintings and sketches of the Market which were published in 1964 in a book titled "Mark Tobey: The World of a Market." |
