| Summary |
"The Art of Making and Meaning presents the first comprehensive overview of Frank Lobdell's paintings, drawings, prints, and sketchbooks, and his long career as artist and teacher in the San Francisco Bay area. A seminal figure in the development of West Coast abstract expressionist painting, Lobdell early on recognized its potential as a lifelong arena for individual inquiry - a place where he could be entirely himself. He was also closely associated with the Bay Area figurative movement in the 1950s and 1960s. The figure as figure has remained on his canvases ever since, though in later work, his idiomatic forms no longer bear a readily apparent correspondence with the human body."--Jacket. |
