About the Item

Portrait of a Woman Reading - Bay Area Figurative School Abstract Expressionist Abstracted portrait of a woman reading by San Francisco artist Heather Speck (American, b. 1978). A woman is seated in a dark chair, with her face turned slightly down, looking at what appears to be a book. The sitter is rendered with thick, confident strokes, creating a semi-abstracted composition. Canvas size: 24"H x 18"W Mounted on foamcore. Heather Speck exhibited in San Francisco. She studied figure and non objective painting. Her broad brush strokes and bold colors are in the style of San Francisco Figurative movement artist James Weeks and William Daw. Unsigned, from a collection of her signed works we acquired from a retired San Francisco framing studio.
