Bernice Bing

Dusk, 1987

Oil on Canvas

A San Francisco native, Chinese American, artist, lesbian, community activist—Bernice Bing, 62, was a bridge between many worlds. She came of age during the Beat era and entered the San Francisco arts landscape in the 1960s with her paintings, which synthesize abstract modernist painting with Chinese calligraphy.
