“Bridging the Gap†showcases artists at the tail end of American Scene Painting to Post-War Modernism from the
1940s-1970s.
While abstraction was becoming a predominant form of art in Southern California during the Post-World War II period, many leading artists continued to produce representational paintings. Artists during this period had various interpretations, yet they shared in common the desire to produce figurative works.
Artists such as Millard Sheets and Phil Dike depicted their surroundings in a traditional style while artists such as Robert Frame and Roger Kuntz embraced the new and painted figurative works with a modernist flair. This exhibition explores the connection between a traditional and Modernist representation of art in Southern California.
The exhibition opens with a reception on October 15, 2011 from 5-8pm and runs through November 19, 2011 at George Stern Fine Arts, 8920 Melrose Avenue West Hollywood, CA 90069; Tues-Fri 10-6 and Sat 11-6,
