Description
David Park: A Retrospective by Janet Bishop is a comprehensive publication showcasing the artist's expressive work. Spanning his career from the 1930s to the late 1950s, this generously illustrated volume explores Park's transition from social realism and cubism to mature figurative paintings. The book examines Park's pivotal moment in 1949, when he abandoned his abstract canvases at the Berkeley city dump, marking the beginning of the Bay Area Figurative movement. The decade that followed saw him create powerful paintings that combined classic subjects with lush, gestural paint handling and an extraordinary sense of color. Published to accompany a major museum exhibition, David Park: A Retrospective offers a detailed look at Park's career, from his early social realist and cubist-inspired efforts to his astounding final works on paper.
