About the Item
Mid century watercolor figure study, a lively depiction of a reclining nude woman by Bay Area Figurative Movement artist Hubert Buel (American, 1915-1984). Signed in the lower left corner. Presented in a whitewashed wood frame with a linen liner. Image size: ~12"H x 15"W
Hubert Buel (American, 1915-1984) was born in Sacramento, California. In the early 1930s, he studied watercolor painting with Alexandra Bradshaw at Fresno State College then continued his art education at the University of California, Los Angeles. He had a successful career as an animator for Walt Disney, teacher at Long Beach College, and with the San Francisco Chronicle, which he joined in 1938 and after World War II, serving as Art Director. His amusing illustration, The Wonderful World of Animals, was nationally syndicated.
As a fine-art painter, he had a specialty of watercolor, and he won his first painting award at age nine at the Fresno County Fair. He did post-graduate work at UC-Berkeley, Mills College, University of Southern California, and Fresno State College.
On Chronicle assignments, he painted throughout the United States, Europe, and in the Pacific, he did a series of paintings including views of Bora Bora and Tahiti. During World War II, he was a naval officer in the Pacific and did a number of watercolors of military encounters. After the war, he worked at Twentieth Century-Fox Studios as a set designer and then took a permanent job as art director at the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper. He continued to paint, mostly on location, until shortly before his death on May 16, 1984 in San Francisco.

ARTFORUM article: Louis Nadalini
In the last couple of seasons, San Francisco has lost several of its galleries. Some others have just recently begun operating but often with an entirely new group of artists. Some members of those apparently secure gallery stables that went out of business have found their way into other stables, but a larger group is without a place to show. I decided to look into such a person’s studio in my endeavor to find out what is really happening in the Bay Area art world. I went to see Louis Nadalini. His latest painting continues with the lattice of slats protruding forward with two variations of the painting painted on the sides of the slats which are viewable when standing to either side. This was always a very abstract method and he had quite often painted pure abstractions which centered quietly into hypnotic devices of exceptional color richness, but which gave a kaleidoscopic change as you moved past it. Untitled #42 (the most recent painting) has subject matter and was done in a much more painterly way. The side variations were flat in color, and there were some elements seen only in the side views, a skeleton’s arm and a black hand, for example. Nadalini says that he may abandon the lattice altogether if it gets in his way, but so far it seems to work better than it did with the abstractions. He is enthusiastic about the work he is doing, felt very free about making changes, and was, at the same time still happy about work from several years ago and unwilling to think that older work and new work should not be exhibited together. He hasn’t been thinking about galleries for a while. Nadalini goes to sea periodically which gives him time for contemplation as well as for renewing his resources. by —Knute Stiles...
