Candy-colorful surreal steeps of San Francisco. Inimitable. "This formidable collection offers a rare look at one of the most prolific periods of experimental painting on the West and East coasts in the mid to late 20th century. This collection compellingly illustrates that a distinct discipline of abstract art developed in the San Francisco Bay Area, independent of the renowned New York School who practiced an all-over painting technique. The San Francisco School of Abstract Expressionists embraced a unique style of abstraction and realism during the 1940s through the 60s, turning to their immediate surroundings for their inspiration. While focusing on the San Francisco School, this collection juxtaposes what artists were producing on both coasts in post World War II America." --Publisher
