A California native, Oldfield taught at prominent art schools in San Francisco before receiving an invitation from Calvin to conduct a summer seminar at USAC. Oldfield and Fletcher shared an affinity for post-Cubist forms, adopting blocky compositions and flat shapes rather than naturalistically modeled forms. Oldfield was one of 26 artists selected to create murals for San Francisco’s iconic Coit Tower.
