Abstract (en)

Discusses the factors that stimulated radical changes in San Francisco Bay Area painting, 1945-1950, paralleling the development of Abstract Expressionism in New York City. Focuses on the important role played by the California School of Fine Arts, citing the impact of director Douglas MacAgy and artist Clyfford Still. Also notes the role of three innovative local museum administrators active in San Francisco during this period.
