Untitled [nude reclining and crossing her legs] 1956

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [nude reclining and crossing her legs]" is a 1956 ink drawing that depicts a nude female figure in a reclining position, crossing her legs. Diebenkorn's signature gestural style is evident in the quick, flowing lines and the simplified form of the figure, which is rendered with minimal detail. This piece exemplifies the artist's exploration of the human figure and his fascination with the interplay of line and form. Diebenkorn, a prominent figure in Bay Area Figurative art, is known for his dynamic and expressive use of line, which captures a sense of movement and energy.
