About the Item

Bay Area Abstract Expressionist Composition in Oil Pastel on Cardboard San Francisco Bay area abstract expressionist composition by Honora Berg (American, 1897-1985). Bold linear abstract composition in teal and black. The piece is mostly various shades of teal, with black lines separating the color into sections. This appears to have been executed on the backing piece of a spiral bound sketchbook. Signed "H. Berg" in the lower right corner. Estate stamp on verso "Estate of Honora Berg - Miller Fine Art" Unframed. 23.75"H x 17"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.
