Biography
| Nathan Oliveira is an American painter, printmaker, and sculptor, from Oakland, California. Since the late 1950s, he has had nearly one hundred solo exhibitions and hundreds of group exhibitions, in important museums and galleries worldwide, including several Whitney Museum of American Art Annual Exhibitions. He has taught painting for several decades in California since the early 1950s. He's considered to be one of the pioneers of the return to the figure in American painting that originated in the California Bay area in the 1950s. Along with various colleagues, Oliviera responded to Abstract expressionism in the mid-1950s by returning to imagery. |
