Celebrating the Legacy of David Park

Celebrating the Legacy of David Park will be a two-park exhibition honoring the spirit, influence and artistic legacy of painter David Park (1911-1960). Park, who returned to painting the human figure in an era when abstraction was dominant, was known for paintings that celebrate human dignity and decency. This exhibition is not intended to showcase paintings that simply resemble Park’s works, but rather to honor his legacy of artistic honesty, strong work ethic, and commitment to the figure. This juried show is funded on behalf of the Sam Francis Foundation. Photo image credit: David Park, 'Untitled', 1960, gouache on paper, 13.25 x 13.5 inches
