"In about 1948 a group of artists associated with the CSFA [California School of Fine Arts, now the San Francisco Art Institute] began meeting informally in each other's studios, mostly in Sausalito. They were James Budd Dixon, Frank Lobdell, Richard Diebenkorn, George Stillman, and Walter Kuhlman, as well as John Hultberg, who recalled that they all wanted to distance themselves from other artists at the school who were overly devoted to Clyfford Still.  Calling themselves themselves the Sausalito Six.
