Title	U.S. Science Pavilion; Panel by Jean Johanson 1962 "Men Come and Go Like Waves of the Sea"
Identifier	spl_wl_sec_00356
Description	United States Science Pavilion, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). “Beneath five arching towers representing man’s constant striving for knowledge for the universe will be presented the most significant scientific display ever assembled…It is the United States Government’s Science Exhibit, a $9,000,000 program of participation including a giant six-building pavilion and unique exhibits dedicated to showing the peaceful uses of science. Stepping out of the textbook into the techniques of showmanship will be the authentic story of the tremendous break-throughs in the barriers which now stand between man and his conquering of space, his control of weather, disease, and over-population of the world.” (Washington State Dept. of Commerce and Economic Development. Seattle World's Fair preview. Seattle: Acme Publications, 1961, n.p.) The Science Pavilion also featured numerous works of art loaned by museums, artists, and private collectors. Jean Louise Johanson (1911-2000) was a Bellevue, Washington sculptor and mosaic artist, and was married to the architect Perry Johanson of the Northwest firm Naramore, Bain, Brady & Johanson. Her works include Seattle Children's Hospital's "Bambino" calendar image, the bronze fountain at Seattle's Westlake Center, and the pebble wall at Pacific Science Center. (Carole Beers, Seattle Times, March 5, 2000.)
