Untitled [reclining woman with her hair in a bun] 1955 - 1967

This ink drawing, titled "Untitled [reclining woman with her hair in a bun]," is a study by the American painter Richard Diebenkorn, dating from 1955 - 1967. The work features a gestural and expressive style that is characteristic of Diebenkorn's early work. The artist is known for his exploration of figure and form through abstract expressionism, a movement that valued spontaneity and emotional intensity. This drawing's loose lines and minimal details capture a sense of movement and fleetingness, highlighting the artist's exploration of the human form. The subject, a woman in a relaxed pose, appears to be a study for a larger, more finished work, demonstrating Diebenkorn's ongoing experimentation with form and composition.
