Bay Area Figurative Movement -- Impasto Berkeley Landscape

Circa 1960

About the Item

Wonderful impasto Bay Area Figurative Movement painting with bell tower (possibly Berkeley Campanile?) and abstracted figures on path and trees and white puffy clouds in background. Indistinct monogram lower right corner (_ _ M?). Texture of heavy impasto adds dimension and interest. Unframed. Image size: 12"H x 14"W. The Bay Area Figurative Movement (also known as the Bay Area Figurative School, Bay Area Figurative Art, Bay Area Figuration, and similar variations) was a mid-20th Century art movement made up of a group of artists in the San Francisco Bay Area who abandoned working in the prevailing style of Abstract Expressionism in favor of a return to figuration in painting during the 1950s and onward into the 1960s. Spanning two decades, this art movement is often broken down into three groups, or generations: the First Generation, the Bridge Generation, and the Second Generation.
