N.B. Known for his expressive figural studies, David Park was a member of the Bay Area Figurative School (along with Richard Diebenkorn and Elmer Bischoff). Born in Boston in 1911, Park moved to California to live with his aunt and study art at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. Park experimented with a variety of different styles including Cubism and Expressionism, throughout his career. However, his figural images are noted for their dynamic compositions and their use of space.
