520 1 $a"Nathan Oliveira's passion for continuing an inner-directed artistic tradition attached to the human subject has persisted throughout his more than forty years as a painter and master printmaker. His art represents an ongoing dialogue with artists from Rembrandt to Goya to Munch, Beckmann, Giacometti, and de Kooning - whom he recognizes for their insights into the human condition.
520 8 $aThe human touch, so often absent from contemporary work, is distinct in the mark of Oliveira's brush, the tactile quality of his paint, and the unique printed surfaces of his monotypes. Active in the San Francisco Bay Area, Oliveira is widely regarded as a key figure in American art, and his paintings, monoprints, drawings, watercolors, and sculpture have attracted an international audience. This book is the most comprehensive study to date of Oliveira's career as artist and teacher.
520 8 $aGenerously illustrated with 183 images, more than 100 in color, and including valuable, previously unpublished biographical and bibliographical information, Nathan Oliveira will accompany the major traveling exhibition of the same name.".
520 8 $a"Peter Selz's authoritative text weaves key moments in Oliveira's professional life together with compelling readings of the paintings themselves. Selz, who curated the exhibition, succeeds brilliantly in establishing a sense of where Oliveira came from, what inspired him, and how he thought of himself as an artist. He discusses Oliveira's beginnings as the son of Portuguese immigrants, his early exposure to Bay Area artists, and the formative experience of studying with Max Beckmann.
520 8 $aSelz also traces the artist's affinity to his older European contemporaries, his search for an expressive relationship between form and space that found resonance in presentation of the single figure, and the exhibitions and collaborations that shaped his career."--BOOK JACKET.
