Cook; titled in pencil on the stretcher bar; titled again and dated on two labels affixed verso 19.5" H x 18" W Provenance: Charles Campbell Gallery, San Francisco, CA Exhibited: Los Angeles, CA, Asher Faure, "Gordon Cook: Paintings," November 23-December 18, 1982 Other notes: An active painter, printmaker and educator in the Bay Area art scene, Gordon Cook was born in Chicago and attended Illinois Wesleyan University, earning a B.F.A. in 1950. He continued his studies at The American Academy of Art in Chicago and took graduate courses under intaglio printmaker Mauricio Lasansky at the State University of Iowa. At the beginning of his career, Cook focused on printmaking. Moving to the painted medium, early works featured still-life subjects of singular objects such as a flower, wheel or box. While small in size and in muted colors, these works were defined by expressive impasto paint application. After the 1970s and his marriage to artist Joan Brown, Cook began to paint the landscape, particularly solitary buildings in the delta area of the Sacramento River such as the present works. His work also included floral still life, nudes, portraits and cityscapes.
