Honora Berg
Monochrome Bay Area Abstract Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Paper

Mid 20th Century

About the Item

Monochrome Bay Area Abstract Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Paper San Francisco Bay area abstract expressionist composition by Honora Berg (American, 1897-1985). Although this piece only uses black and white paint, the blue paper creates an additional layer of depth. Lines dance across the paper, implying movement and expression, yet the piece is well-balanced and harmonious. Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work. Unframed. Paper size: 25.5"H x 20"W Larry Miller 1958-2003, Larry was a specialist in bay area abstract artists and purchased numerous bay area artists estates. He purchased the entirety of the Honora Berg Estate and we purchased many of those works directly from Larry. Honora Berg, an Abstract Expressionist and Bay Area Figurative School artist, studied at the San Francisco Art Institute with David Park, Elmer Bischoff and James Budd Dixon. Berg's friend Edith Truesdell — David Park's aunt — suggested a move to California in 1951 to study under Park. She exhibited at the 25th Annual Drawing, Print and Sculpture Exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 1961.
