Untitled [man with glasses holding a cup] 1955 - 1967

This untitled drawing of a man holding a cup, created by American artist Richard Diebenkorn between 1955 and 1967, shows a simplified, almost gestural approach to the subject. Diebenkorn's signature style of line and form are evident in this work, which explores the essence of the figure, capturing the essence of the subject through a few carefully placed lines. This piece exemplifies Diebenkorn's early work which would later evolve into his iconic "Ocean Park" series, exploring the relationship between abstraction and representation.
