Impressionist still life by Honora Berg (American, 1897-1985). Pieces of tissue paper have been cut out and thoughtfully applied to a blue backing board to create a still life. In the scene, there is a plate of fruit on a magenta table. The background could be striped wallpaper or a window. With a minimal amount of tissue paper, the artist has created a rich, vibrant scene.

Larry Miller 1958-2003, Larry was a specialist in bay area abstract artists and purchased numerous bay area artists estates. He purchased the entirety of the Honora Berg Estate and we purchased many of those works directly from Larry.

Honora Berg, an Abstract Expressionist and Bay Area Figurative School artist, studied at the San Francisco Art Institute with David Park, Elmer Bischoff and James Budd Dixon. Berg's friend Edith Truesdell — David Park's aunt — suggested a move to California in 1951 to study under Park. She exhibited at the 25th Annual Drawing, Print and Sculpture Exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 1961. See less
