About the Item
Abstract Expressionist painting of Bay Area Hills by Honora Berg Berkeley
San Francisco Bay Area abstract expressionist landscape by Honora Berg (American, 1897-1985). A brilliant example of the bold abstracted landscape of a mid-century Bay Area hillside neighborhood. The composition is filled with houses, trees, and rolling hills, arranged in a patchwork-like pattern that flattens perspective, lending a whimsical and almost childlike quality to the work. Bold white outlines define the forms, while the interior spaces are filled with washes of muted reds, greens, and browns. The brushstrokes are loose and rhythmic, giving the piece a dynamic, almost mosaic-like surface. The painting captures a sense of place through symbolic shapes and patterns rather than realistic depiction, reflecting Berg's roots in Bay Area Abstract Expressionism and her affinity for stylized, semi-figurative structure.
Medium: Gouache on paper
Signed: Signed and dated lower left corner
Unframed. 15.50"H x 20.50"W.
