Untitled [female nude raising her right arm and turning away] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn’s Untitled [female nude raising her right arm and turning away] is a graphite drawing on paper from the late 1950s to 1967. The drawing is a study of the human form, capturing the gesture and movement of a nude female figure. The artist’s gestural lines and simple composition create a sense of immediacy and informality, typical of his figure drawings of this period. This drawing represents a crucial period in Diebenkorn’s work, where he transitioned from his earlier abstract expressionist paintings to a more figurative style.
