A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
" ...this exhibition tells the unknown story of a Portland-born Chinese American artist whose work captures an intimate view of Portland Chinatown and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Bue Kee (1893-1985) was a painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Portland Chinatown who later moved with his family to Clackamas County to help manage a hops farm. In 2021, the life and art of Bue Kee were brought to the Museum's attention by his nephew, Dan Kee. The resulting exhibition is a dazzling array of watercolors, paintings, lithographs, drawings, and ceramics that showcase Kee's exceptional talents - and his uniquely Oregon story."
