George Stillman (February 25, 1921 – March 12, 1997)[1] was an American abstract expressionist artist and member of the San Francisco Bay Area group known as the "Sausalito Six".
He got an associate degree at Chaffey College (1941) and then enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, but in 1942 he was drafted to serve in the military in World War II.
[2] The group consisted of Richard Diebenkorn, John Hultberg, Frank Lobdell, Walter Kuhlman, James Budd Dixon, and Stillman, who was one of the youngest members.
[2][3] Stillman lived in Oakland, where his parents had a photography studio, but he had close ties with the rest of the group and often visited them and exhibited with them.
[3] During this period, he collaborated with other members of the Sausalito Six to create a portfolio of 17 lithographs entitled Drawings (1948) that is considered a landmark in the history of Abstract Expressionist printmaking.
