While he was a young artist, David Park experimented with the predominant style of the day: abstract expressionism. However, he made a decisive turn toward representation and broke away from the fashion of the 1950s American art world. Park favored painting the figure either alone or in groups, using thick layers of paint and blocks of color to depict forms and convey emotions. He described this shift in his practice: \u201cI have found that in accepting and immersing myself in subject matter I paint with more intensity and that the \u2018hows\u2019 of painting are more inevitably determined by the \u2018whats.\u2019\u201d Come take a look at this painting on the first floor of the Jubitz Center for Modern and Contemporary Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
