Blue Club 1981

"Blue Club" is a 1981 lithograph by American artist Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993). The artwork, a stylized depiction of the club suit from a deck of playing cards, exhibits Diebenkorn's signature blend of abstraction and figuration. The prominent use of blue and gray hues against a white background creates a sense of depth and contrast. The distinct geometric shapes and the use of bold lines suggest an influence of Abstract Expressionism. Diebenkorn's masterful use of color and form elevates the simple motif of a playing card into a complex and visually engaging composition.
