Untitled [seated nude leaning forward with her hands on her knees] 1955 - 1967

"Untitled [seated nude leaning forward with her hands on her knees]" is a charcoal drawing by Richard Diebenkorn, an American artist known for his abstract paintings and works on paper. Diebenkorn, an important figure in the Bay Area Figurative Movement, explored themes of the human figure and the relationship between abstraction and representation. This drawing is a quintessential example of his artistic style with its minimal and gestural lines, suggesting the form of a seated nude. The composition is simple, focusing on the figure's pose and the artist's use of line to convey form and volume. The drawing's raw and expressive quality hints at Diebenkorn's exploration of figuration within a minimalist aesthetic.
