Untitled [female nude seated and leaning back] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [female nude seated and leaning back]" is a powerful black and white drawing, executed in ink and charcoal. Created between 1955 and 1967, this piece exemplifies Diebenkorn's exploration of the figure in a simplified and abstract manner. The artist's bold brushstrokes, reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism, emphasize the fluidity of form and the interplay of light and shadow. Diebenkorn's works often focused on the human figure, and this drawing, with its gestural lines and stark contrasts, reveals the artist's fascination with the complexities of the human form.
