This generously illustrated volume is the first comprehensive
publication devoted to the powerfully expressive work of David Park
(1911-60). Best known as the founder of Bay Area Figurative art,
Park moved from Boston to California at the age of seventeen and
spent most of his adult life in and around San Francisco. In the
immediate postwar years, like many avant-garde American artists, he
engaged with Abstract Expressionism and painted non-objectively. In
a moment of passion in 1949, he made the radical decision to
abandon nearly all of his abstract canvases at the Berkeley city
dump and return to the human figure, in so doing marking the
beginning of the Bay Area Figurative movement. The astonishingly
powerful paintings he made in the decade that followed brought
together his long-held interest in classic subjects such as
portraiture, domestic interiors, musicians, rowers, and bathers
with lush, gestural paint handling and an extraordinary sense of
color. In 1958-59 Park reached his expressive peak, reveling in the
sensuous qualities of paint to create intensely physical,
psychologically charged, and deeply felt canvases. This fertile
period cut short by illness in 1960, Park transferred his creative
energy to other mediums when he could no longer work on canvas. In
the last months of his life, bedridden, he produced an
extraordinary thirty-foot-long felt-tip-pen scroll and a poignant
series of gouaches. Published to accompany the first major museum
exhibition of Park's work in more than thirty years, David Park: A
Retrospective traces the full arc of the artist's career, from his
early social realist and cubist-inspired efforts of the 1930s to
his mature figurative paintings of the 1950s and his astounding
final works on paper. An overview of Park's full body of work by
Janet Bishop, SFMOMA's Thomas Weisel Family Curator of Painting and
Sculpture, will be joined by approximately ninety full-color plates
of paintings and works on paper; an essay by Tara McDowell on the
figure drawing sessions held by Park, Richard Diebenkorn, Elmer
Bischoff, Frank Lobdell, and others in their studios starting in
1953; short essays on Park's scroll, his gouaches, and the
portraits that Imogen Cunningham and Park made of each other; and
an illustrated chronology. Published in association with the San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Exhibition schedule: Modern Art

With a powerful juxtaposition of portraiture and landscape
photography, this book explores Dawoud Bey's vivid evocations of
race, history, time, and place Dawoud Bey (b. 1953) is an American
photographer best known for his large-scale portraits of
underrepresented subjects and for his commitment to fostering
dialogue about contemporary social and political topics. Bey has
also found inspiration in the past, and in two recent series,
presented together here for the first time, he addresses African
American history explicitly, with renderings both lyrical and
immediate. In 2012 Bey created The Birmingham Project, a series of
paired portraits memorializing the six children who were victims of
the Ku Klux Klan's bombing of Birmingham, Alabama's 16th Street
Baptist Church, a site of mass civil rights meetings, and the
violent aftermath. Night Coming Tenderly, Black is a group of
large-scale black-and-white landscapes made in 2017 in Ohio that
reimagine sites where the Underground Railroad once operated. The
book is introduced by an essay exploring the series' place within
Bey's wider body of work, as well as their relationships to the
past, the present, and each other. Additional essays investigate
the works' evocations of race, history, time, and place, addressing
the particularities of and resonances between two series of
photographs that powerfully reimagine the past into the present.
