Untitled [portrait] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [portrait]" (1955-1967) is a powerful and expressive ink drawing depicting a woman's face. Created during a period of artistic exploration for Diebenkorn, the portrait showcases his characteristic use of gestural strokes and simplified forms. The artist's use of black and green ink, along with the subject's contemplative gaze, imbues the work with an introspective and even melancholic atmosphere. This work demonstrates Diebenkorn's ability to capture the essence of his subject through a minimal and suggestive approach.
