Frank Lobdell The Art of Making and Meaning
Timothy Anglin Burgard, Bruce Guenther, Walter Hopps, et al
I can’t be content with prettiness when a feeling of turmoil seems most characteristic of our times.
This is the first comprehensive overview of Frank Lobdell’s paintings, drawings, prints, and sketchbooks, as well as 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, Frank Lobdell was also closely associated with the Bay Area figurative movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Shaped in profound and enduring ways by his personal experience in the horrors of World War II, Lobdell’s intricate imagery resonates among his work as a private, intuitive, ever-evolving language of signs, space, color and the explication of meaning. Profusely illustrated, this book is of great interest to collectors and devotees of contemporary art, to Bay Area artists, museum-goers, scholars, and students. Timothy Anglin Burgard is Curator-in-Charge of the American Art Department at the Fine Art Museum of San Fransico, California. Bruce Guenther is Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, at the Portland Art Museum, Oregon. Walter Hopps, Sr. is Curator of Twentieth-Century Art, at the Guggenheim, New York and Acting Curator of Twentieth-Century Art, Menil Collection, Houston.
