IRVING NORMAN

Irving Norman was born in 1906 in Vilna, then part of the Russian Empire, now Lithuania. Norman's immigration to New York City in 1923 was short-lived, as he would return to Europe to fight as part of the Abraham Lincoln battalion against the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. After the War, Norman would eventually settle in Half Moon Bay, California, where he embarked on a prolific studio practice.
<br>
<br>Norman's work portrays the horrors of war and his firsthand knowledge of totalitarian dictatorships. Norman's work has been described as "Social Surrealism," and his grand scenes are immediate and arresting. The large-scale works of Norman truly capture the power of his lived experiences; they are as much a visual record as they are a warning for the future, intended to inspire change.

IRVING NORMAN

Nathan Olivera is often associated with the Bay Area Figurative painters of California, but in reality, his work reveals his interest in Willem de Kooning, Alberto Giacometti, and Francis Bacon. These influences are salient characteristics of Nude Stepping from the Carpet. Painted when Olivera was in his early 30s, it is just the sort of painting that established his early reputation for haunting depictions of isolated figures painted in an improvisational style. Oliveira's later work reflects de Kooning's influential comment regarding the challenge of painting visual memories and creating figurations having a tenuous presence, yet the strong horizon line grounding this landscape lends the figure a more corporeal presence than usual.

NATHAN OLIVEIRA

Nathan Oliveira's solitary figures convey a sense of existential unease reminiscent of Giacometti's style, yet they also possess an ethereal quality and a transcendent presence. These figures embody timeless, universal expressions of a self-transcending consciousness, more aligned with the intangible aspects of metaphysics. Figure with Blue Eyes has a haunting quality. As if reaching into the past, if we assume the slashing vertical strokes of white from the chin downward is a painterly metaphor for an eighteenth-century cravat, it resonates with Oliveira's deep respect and engagement with Goya's legacy. Figure with Blue Eyes could be a direct homage. Oliveira based his first serial compositions on Goya's 1818 etching La Tauromaquia 21 and participated in many events discussing the influence and significance of Goya's work.
