About the Item

Original Sierra Mountain Cabin Abstract Expressionist Landscape Original acrylic painting depicting a cabin in the Sierra Mountains by Honora Berg (American, 1897-1985), circa 1950. A wooden cabin is the focal point with Ponderosa Pines and gray granite outcroppings typical of the Sierras. Dramatic black outlining emphasizing the elements of the painting is a classic feature of abstract expressionism. Berg's use of dry brush allows paper to peek through adding further interest and texture to the painting. Unsigned: Acquired as part of larger collection Presented in new, acid-free mat. Mat: 32"H x 26"W Paper: 23.5"H x 18.50"W Image: 22.50"H x 17.75"W 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. Provenance: We acquired this piece as part of a larger collection from the art dealer whom purchased the entirety of the Honora Berg Estate.
