After World War II, the avant-garde art world shifted from Paris to New York, making the downtown scene in New York the center of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Concurrent with the scene in New York, San Francisco was its parallel on the West Coast as a bohemian enclave. Much like the few recognized women Abstract Expressionists from the East Coast, only a handful of women artists from the West Coast have broken into the larger art world canon, most notably Joan Brown, Jay DeFeo, Deborah Remington, and Sonia Gechtoff. These women are a narrow representation of the robust and diverse community living and working on the West Coast in the 1950s. Jointly organized by Berry Campbell Gallery and Modern Art West.

His Cycles series brings to life the recurring themes that define the human experience, with each disk representing a facet of these universal ideas. These sculptures offer a meditation on how history repeats itself, tracing the evolution of thought and change over centuries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db1f2c1daa37a3338732e2e/651dee32-8317-42f1-8813-ecefafb0c1e7/IMG_6904.jpeg Exhibitions - Figurative Friends: Joan Brown and Her Circle June/July/August 2025 Elmer Bischoff, Joan Brown, William H.

It’s more joyous.” —Willem De Kooning An almost forgotten California Surrealism exhibition, The Grotesque Image, was conceived as a counterpart to the Peter Selz-curated 1967 Funk exhibition, and opened two weeks prior at the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) in 1967. The exhibition organized by future Whitney curator, James Monte, was described as a group of “fantastic paintings, full of imagination and wild invention” by the San Francisco Chronicle. The six Bay Area artists included Roy De Forest, Wally Hedrick, Tom Holland, William Morehouse, Norman Stiegelmeyer, and Maija Zach (Peeples). Monte described the work as “fanciful or distorted figurative imagery, continuing an anti-classical visionary tradition dating back to the Gothic period in Western art.” [1] Four of the artists were on the faculty of SFAI, and the remaining two were affiliated with UC Davis. The “Revisited” project will include works presented in the original exhibition. 1.

The proliferation of Eastern aesthetics entering the Western artistic sphere in the twentieth century furthered the development of Abstract Expressionism in Big Sur and the Bay Area, creating a unique form of abstraction inherently tied to artists' experiences of nature and humanity.

In the 60s, many of these artists sought new strategies for connecting art back to a lived reality that seemed increasingly unreal due to rapid postwar transformation and the social, political, and technological upheavals.
