Untitled [head-to-knee view of nude with her arms raised] 1955 - 1967

This charcoal drawing, created between 1955 and 1967 by American artist Richard Diebenkorn, depicts a nude female figure in a gestural, expressive style. The figure is rendered in a loose, fragmented manner, emphasizing the artist's interest in capturing the essence of form through rapid, almost frenzied, marks. Diebenkorn's work is known for its blend of figuration and abstraction, showcasing the influence of Abstract Expressionism and the Bay Area Figurative movement. This drawing exemplifies his signature style and his exploration of the human form.
