Untitled [female nude seated on the floor with left arm raised] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [female nude seated on the floor with left arm raised]" is a 1955-1967 watercolor painting. The abstract composition is dominated by a dark silhouette of a seated nude figure against a blue background. The figure is partially obscured, creating a sense of mystery and intimacy. The bold, gestural strokes and simplified forms are characteristic of Diebenkorn's style during this period, reflecting the influence of Abstract Expressionism and his ongoing exploration of figuration. The work demonstrates Diebenkorn's artistic development and his ability to translate the human form into abstract and evocative imagery.
