    Keeping representational art alive
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2008*

Caroline Jones has done a stunning job, in her book 'Bay Area Figurative Art', of defining and chronicaling the counter movement, to abstract expressionism, of representational, figurative art, in California, from 1950-1965. The book was originally published as the catalogue for the 1989-1990 exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.For the student as well as the established artist, this book is indispensible as a reference in understanding the dynamics and art of David Park, Richard Diebenkorn, Elmer Bishoff and James Weeks and the others who followed. The color illustrations are excellent. It's a shame the book is not in hard-cover; with that and in a larger format, it would be ideal for the art officiando as an interesting/informative library addition. The Chronolgy and Notes sections are extensive and add to the informational whole.

    Love the selection of paintings in this book
  

*by E***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2015*

Love the selection of paintings in this book.  However, i remain completely perplexed about the lack of gender diversity in this and other arts publications.  Joan Brown is the only woman among 10 Bay Area Figurative Arts which are featured prominently in this book.  I suspect it would not require a lot of effort to find other key women figures who perhaps do not have the public profile but whose work had a major impact during this period.

    Inspiring for an artist
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2011*

I am an artist who works with watercolor crayon.  An artist friend of mine recently told me about the West Coast figurative abstraction movement.  I knew very little of it, so I ordered this book.  I've only read a little of the text (I don't have much interest in critical essays on art).The painting reproductions profoundly impacted my work.  I studied them quite a bit, and they continue to influence me.  I particularly liked David Park's and Elmer Bischoff's work.  I'm very happy I got this book.  It helped invigorate my creative process and clarify for me where I'm wanting to move in my work.
