Description:
James Weeks was an American artist and an early member of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Unlike many artists in the movement, Weeks was never known for painting in a non-representational style, instead using abstraction in the "ideas of painting." He further diverged from his colleagues in the rigidity of his figures, a characteristic that Anita Ventura described as "[painting] not for expression so much as comprehension."
