| Painter and printmaker Oliveira
is loosely associated with the Bay Area Figurative artists but his work
does not fit squarely within that movement, nor any other. The often-solitary
figure is Oliveira's starting point, but he infuses his work with emotional,
spiritual, even magical overtones. The Museum's painting reference's the
artist's active fascination with the form and flight of birds. |
