 These were the works that marked the final years of his life and the exhibition was held to celebrate his life as well as his return to figure painting in 1950, which was instrumental in starting the Movement.Some of the earlier works in the exhibition suggest that Park responded to the art of Max Beckmann and his influence is particularly visible in "The Band" (1955).Over the years, Park's palette turned towards an ebullient chromaticism, but his carving approach to paint handling could be seen in his work throughout until finally he decided to give up oils in 1959.
