Lecture, “Painting the Figure: David Park and Art in Postwar San Francisco”

Nancy Boas, the foremost scholar on David Park and an accomplished art historian, author, and curator, will discuss Park, his influence on Bay Area artists and on figuration in art, and the Bay Area milieu in which the artist thrived. Boas’s lecture will be followed by a conversation with Jock Reynolds, the Gallery’s Henry J. Heinz II Director, himself an artist schooled in the Bay Area. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Five West Coast Artists: Bischoff, Diebenkorn, Neri, Park, and Thiebaud.
