David Park (1911-1960), transplanted Bostonian turned
ground-breaking West Coast painter, led the way in creating what
became known as Bay Area Figurative Art - a daring move during the
post-World War II years when abstract expressionism held sway. In
this beautifully illustrated biography, compiled from comprehensive
and sweeping interviews, Nancy Boas traces Park's resolute search
for a new kind of figuration, one that would penetrate abstract
expressionism's thickly layered surfaces and infuse them with human
presence. Boas changes our understanding of Park as a painter,
highlighting his strong influence on Richard Diebenkorn, Elmer
Bischoff, and other artists at the California School of Fine Arts
and the University of California, Berkeley. She plunges us into the
lively 1940s and 1950s Bay Area art scene, pointing to Park's work
as a bold alternative to the abstractions of Clyfford Still. As the
book deepens our admiration for Park's figurative paintings, it
affirms his stature as a major figure in American art, one who
spurred the figurative impulse across the United States and abroad.
