Untitled [head of a man: front view] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn’s “Untitled [head of a man: front view]” is a charcoal drawing on paper from the 1950s and 1960s. The work features a close-up portrait of a man’s face, rendered in a loose and gestural style that captures the artist’s spontaneous approach to portraiture. Diebenkorn, known for his abstract landscapes and figurative works, uses bold strokes and cross-hatching to create a sense of volume and depth. This drawing exemplifies Diebenkorn's interest in exploring the human form with bold and expressive lines, which became a prominent feature in his art.
