David Park: A Personal Point of View

David Park produced a late body of work extraordinary for its focus and direction. In a sharp shift from abstraction to figuration. Park’s move stands out as a re-orientation of radical proportion. Yet it is as a teacher and mentor that Park presides as the cornerstone of an entire art movement and perspective, which came to be known as Bay Area Figurative Art in the 1950s.
This talk, given by his daughter Helen Park Bigelow, took place at the Richmond Art Center on April 3, 2015, in conjunction with the exhibit "David Park: Personal Perspectives."

Wonderful to have a first hand, personal point of view of this artist. I knew so little about David Park and his circle of friends before i came here and I feel my life has been enriched by watching this video. Thank you.

Born in Berkeley, I now live in Italy. If anything I do in my life, I want to bring this beautiful figurative painting style to this wonderful country. I only hope to do justice to these 3 painters of the bay area.
