The Bay Area Figurative Movement or Bay Area Figurative School, these San Francisco–based artists captured local landscapes, still lifes, and genre scenes in a fresh figurative style.
Many of the “First Generation” artists in this movement were initially proponents of Abstract Expressionism and worked in that manner for a time, including David Park, Richard Diebenkorn, Rex Ashlock, Elmer Bischoff, Glenn Wessels, Wayne Thiebaud, and James Weeks. Spanning two decades, the movement saw two other groups, or generations, adopt this style of painting, and their influence continues to be seen in the work of artists in the Bay area and beyond today.
