The painting of Frank Lobdell epitomizes the strain of San Francisco abstract expressionism furthest from the New York School.

One of the many World War II veterans who attended the California School of Fine Arts, he was immediately drawn to the antidecorative assault on “good taste” exemplified by the canvases of Clyfford Still, who taught at the school from 1946 to 1950. It was Still’s “willingness to use something really raw and brutal,” another ex-GI explained, that appealed to the war-hardened veterans.
