Untitled [seated female nude in a high back armchair] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn’s Untitled [seated female nude in a high back armchair] (1955-1967), is a figure drawing executed in ink, capturing a woman in a seated pose. The artist's loose brushstrokes create a sense of movement and immediacy, reflecting a gestural style popular in mid-century art. The abstract quality of the lines emphasizes the form and volume of the nude figure, a frequent subject for Diebenkorn, in a bold and expressive manner. The composition is visually simple, focusing attention on the interaction between the figure and the chair. Diebenkorn's work is often categorized as Abstract Expressionism, with the female figure being a prominent theme in his artistic development.
