Notes: 

Nathan Oliveira belongs to a group of Bay Area painters-which also includes Richard Diebenkorn and David Park-who returned to figuration in the 1950s during the height of abstract expressionism. This drawing of an animal head emerging from a dark background is characteristic of Oliveiraʼs art, which often consists of solitary, ghostly figures in an unidentified space.
