RIP Nathan Oliveira 1928-2010

from the Bay Area Figurative School
“My work has usually been universal. The figures have never really been that specific. They’re not clothed; they’re not identified with any trappings that specifically tie them down to 2005. It could be today, but they could be from some other time, a long time ago. So I do connect all the way back to the fundamentals of the cave.”
- Nathan Oliveira Quotes

Nude with Crossed Legs (1960)
Standing Nude-Red Foot (1961)
