Frank Koci (1904–1983)
Untitled (Figures in Interior), ca. 1960s
Oil on canvas board, 24 x 30 in. (32 x 30 in. in original frame)
A vivid and emotionally charged composition exemplifying Frank Koci’s distinctive expressionist style. Executed in bold, gestural brushwork with heavy black outlines and a palette of earthy greens, blues, and ochres, the painting captures the raw psychological tension and urban intimacy that define his mature work. In very good original condition.
Born in Czechoslovakia in 1904, Koci immigrated to San Francisco in 1923, where he became an enduring figure of the city’s mid-century art scene.
