About the Item
American Realist Willard Dixon, long admired for his sweeping Western skies and luminous waters, took a surprising and beautiful turn in 2021. He created a small series of life-size portraits on cut 1/4 inch wood panels. Each figure hangs a few inches from the wall, and the natural cast shadows give the sense of a real person standing in the room. The piece hangs from a single hook, which is included.
RWDSU Union Man appears in a red shirt, blue jeans and work boots. The work measures 70 1/4 by 27 by 3 inches. In the gallery he brings a steady and watchful presence to the space. Visitors (and staff) often think he is an actual person, which speaks to the remarkable realism that makes Willard Dixon’s work so beloved.

Large Mosaic Self Portrait
By Kim Frohsin
Located in Burlingame, CA
Experimental photographic work by Kim Frohsin, who is often associated with the Bay Area Figurative movement, began exhibiting in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1990s, and in 1993 was included with Nathan Olivera, Manuel Neri and Stephen De Staebler in an exhibit of "Four Figures from the Bay." With Wayne Thiebaud as the juror, she won the California Society of Printmakers' Award in 1996, and the following year exhibited at the de Young Museum in San Francisco in "Bay Area Art: The Morgan Flagg Collection." Frohsin is a multidisciplinary visual artist, who is at home with painting, drawing, monoprintIng, and mixed media. Her subjects include the female figure as well as mundane ''objects" and series — including ‘Cautionary Tales’ and ‘Portraits of Numbers’— that attract her attention, and which are most often autobiographical in nature.
