Additional Information

This drawing captures the tone and texture of a uniquely Californian moment—where the influence of post-war figuration met the psychology of the West. The piece is alive with the color theory and light-play of the era, recalling the energy of artists working between realism and abstraction. From the draped fabric to the painterly black fills, it holds echoes of David Hockney, Milton Avery, and the undercurrent of Topanga bohemia. At this size and with this presence, it’s not just a drawing—it’s a window into the emotional interior of the decade.

A rare 1970s original with California roots and serious presence—make it yours before it fades into private hands.
