David Park 大衛·柏加 (1911-1960) Neo-Expressionism American

David Park (March 17, 1911 – September 20, 1960) was a painter and a pioneer of the Bay Area Figurative School of painting during the 1950s.
David Park was part of the post-World War II alumni of the San Francisco Art Institute which was called the California School of Fine Arts (CSFA) at the time. He revived an interest in figurative art, at first experimenting with still-abstracted forms that relied on color for their impact, dynamics and warmth. Park, along with Richard Diebenkorn and Elmer Bischoff, broke away from the philosophy of painting promoted by Clyfford Still, who taught at the Institute, forming what would later be called the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Their influence may be seen in the work of later Bay Area Figurative School artists such as Paul John Wonner, Nathan Oliveira, Manuel Neri, Henry Villierme and Joan Brown.
Although these painters started out painting in what was called an objective style, deploying abstract shapes in large space, they soon migrated to using the physical world and representative subjects to experiment with shape, color, texture and temperature in their painting. Park realized that concentrating on principle and abstraction drew attention to the painter rather than the painting. He felt that it was important to focus on the present, to develop responses to nature. "I believe that we are living at a time that overemphasizes the need of newness, of furthering concepts".
Park worked with figurative painting from about 1950 until about 1959 when he became ill with cancer. Usually working from memory, he initially painted what he saw: kids playing in the street, musicians, his friends, people in their houses. Toward the end of the decade he painted classical studio nudes and bathers in a monumental style. After he became too ill to work with oils, he continued working with watercolors which he produced until his early death in 1960, at the age of 49, of cancer. Tragically, he was painting his best works in the final years of his life and career.
He had a retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, 1988–1989.

大衛·柏加是舊金山藝術學院的後二戰校友這在當時被稱為美術（CSFA）的加州大學的一部分。他恢復形象化的藝術的興趣，起初與顏色依賴於它們的影響，動力和熱情仍然抽象形式的實驗。公園，與理查德德本科恩和埃爾默比肖夫一起，打破了從繪畫由克萊福德·斯蒂爾，誰在學院任教促進的理念走，形成了後來被稱為灣區具象運動。他們的影響力可能會在以後的灣區具象學校的藝術家，如保羅·約翰·Wonner，內森·奧利維拉，曼努埃爾·內裡，亨利·維列爾梅和瓊·布朗的作品中可以看出。
雖然這些畫家開始了在什麼是所謂的客觀的風格，部署在大空間抽象的形狀畫，他們很快遷移到使用物理世界和代表性受試者形狀，顏色，質地和溫度在他們的繪畫實驗。公園意識到，專注於原則和抽象提請注意畫家，而不是畫。他認為必須著眼當前，發展到​​自然的反應是很重要的。 “我相信，我們生活在這個過分強調進一步概念新奇的需要，一時間”。
公園具象繪畫的工作，從1950年左右，直到1959年左右，當他病倒與癌症。通常從內存的工作，他開始畫他所看到的：孩子們在大街上，音樂家，他的朋友，人打他們的房子。走向年代末，他畫的古典工作室裸體和游泳在一個巨大的風格。之後，他病得有油的工作，他繼續與他在1960年生產的，直到他的早逝水彩畫的工作，在49歲的時候，癌症。可悲的是，他畫他在最後幾年，他的生活和職業生涯的最佳作品。
