Hilbert Museum of California Art presents "Henrietta Berk: In Living Color."

Berk was a dynamic painter who rose to a pinnacle of prominence in the California/Bay Area Figurative movement of the 1950s and '60s, and then fell into unjustifiable obscurity.   As a "1950s housewife" with a husband and two children who were ambivalent about her painting passion.

Now the Hilbert Museum re-introduces Berk’s life story and her passionate, color-drenched paintings to a new generation with this exhibition of works from the Hilbert Collection and on loan from other museums and private collectors.
