Seated Woman, Green Interior 1961

"Seated Woman, Green Interior" (1961) by Richard Diebenkorn is a captivating oil painting that exemplifies the artist's signature style. Diebenkorn is best known for his "Ocean Park" series, but this work reflects his early exploration of figurative and abstract elements. The painting depicts a seated woman in a vibrant green interior, her form simplified and rendered in broad strokes of color. Diebenkorn's use of bold hues, particularly the contrasting green and blue, creates a sense of depth and dynamism, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow. The painting's composition is both structured and free, emphasizing the artist's ability to balance representational and abstract qualities in his art.
