James Weeks (artist)
American artist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Darrell Northrup Weeks (December 1, 1922 – January 3, 1998) was an American artist and an early member of the Bay Area Figurative Movement.[1] Unlike many artists in the movement, Weeks was never known for painting in a non-representational style, instead using abstraction in the "ideas of painting." He further diverged from his colleagues in the rigidity of his figures, a characteristic that Anita Ventura described as "[painting] not for expression so much as comprehension."[2]
