Untitled [side view of kneeling female nude] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [side view of kneeling female nude]" is a striking charcoal drawing from 1955-1967. This piece showcases Diebenkorn’s interest in figure drawing, an exploration that continued throughout his career. Rendered in loose, gestural lines, the female nude is depicted in a seated pose, viewed from the side. The simplicity of the drawing, with its emphasis on the figure's form and minimal detail, reflects Diebenkorn’s exploration of abstraction and his fascination with the human form. The piece is a compelling example of Diebenkorn’s signature style, characterized by a combination of representational and abstract elements.
