#6 1978

Richard Diebenkorn's 1978 work, "#6," is a minimalist lithograph. It features a gridded, rectangular form outlined with delicate, graphite lines. The lines are subtly offset and create a sense of depth and dimensionality. The overall effect is one of abstract, geometric abstraction, characteristic of Diebenkorn's later work. His focus shifted from the landscapes of his earlier career to exploring the relationship between line, shape and space. The lithograph's muted, almost monochrome, palette further emphasizes the geometric elements.
