Untitled [reclining figure with face down] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's Untitled [reclining figure with face down] is a charcoal drawing that captures the essence of the human form in a minimalist style. Created between 1955 and 1967, the work displays a distinct gestural quality, emphasizing the artist's quick and expressive marks. The figure is rendered in a simplified, almost skeletal form, with long, flowing lines suggesting both weight and movement. The artist's use of charcoal allows for subtle variations in tone and texture, adding depth and dimension to the figure. This drawing exemplifies Diebenkorn's exploration of the human figure, a recurring theme throughout his career.
