Bay Area Figurative Movement
Day Event | Available
Between 1950 and 1965 the Bay Area Figurative movement, which grew out of and in reaction to Abstract Expressionism, was a local phenomenon which is recognized today as making an important contribution to the history of modern American art. It is a subject which is a particular passion of mine and one which I think will be of interest to OLLI members.
