About the Item

This 1950-60s charcoal & graphite on paper figure drawing is by Bay Area artist Alysanne McGaffey (1931-2018).

McGaffey also took classes at CCAC and UC Berkeley, and received an MFA in Painting from the University of San Francisco. She became involved in community arts organizations, holding offices in several, including the Coastal Arts League and Pacifica's Cultural Arts Commission. Eventually McGaffey's gaze moved from the figure to the landscape, and she spent the last thirty years traveling the Northern California coast painting watercolor seascapes. 1950-60s Charcoal & Graphite on Paper 14"x17" unframed Signed lower right.
