Untitled [side view of a nude with her right arm behind her] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn’s Untitled [side view of a nude with her right arm behind her] is a striking charcoal drawing. Created between 1955 and 1967, the piece captures a nude female figure in a simple yet elegant pose. Diebenkorn’s use of line is both expressive and economical, conveying the subject’s form with a sense of both delicacy and strength. The drawing exemplifies his exploration of the figure during this period, moving away from the abstract expressionism of his earlier work towards a more representational style.
