Gordon Onslow Ford’s work links European Surrealism of the 1930s and 1940s, the California-based Post- Surrealism of the 1940s, and American Abstract Expressionism of the following decade. Prior to settling in Northern California in 1947, Onslow Ford spent several years in Mexico and New York, where he was living when he painted The Transparent Woman. In the artist’s words, this work is “in a state of transition from the dream world into a world of greater dimensions.”
