Untitled [female nude seated backwards in a chair] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [female nude seated backwards in a chair]" is a striking black and white ink drawing from 1955-1967. Diebenkorn, known for his abstract and figurative works, uses bold strokes to depict a nude figure seated in a chair. The subject's form is obscured, creating an atmosphere of mystery and leaving the viewer to interpret the composition. The artist's signature style is evident in the use of gestural lines and simplified forms, characteristic of his work in the mid-20th century. This ink drawing exemplifies Diebenkorn's exploration of the human figure and his adeptness in conveying abstract expressionism through minimal means.
