Though his painting is always multivalent in its associations, Robert McChesney, like most West Coast abstract expressionists, found inspiration in the sensory experience of natural surroundings—either in his rustic Sonoma Mountain home in Northern California, where he lived most of his life, or on frequent trips to Nevada, the Southwest, and Mexico. The San Francisco painter and sculptor Clay Spohn might have been speaking for McChesney when he observed that nature could be a rich and meaningful subject as long as the artist filtered it through his imagination and dealt only with “living abstract elements . . . those elusive things such as atmosphere, space, or relationships that cannot be pinned down or measured.”
