Untitled [male nude turned left] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [male nude turned left]" is a powerful ink drawing of a reclining male nude. The work, executed between 1955 and 1967, exemplifies the artist's exploration of figuration and abstract form. The artist's signature "RD" appears on the bottom right of the piece. Through gestural brushstrokes and a focus on the contours of the body, Diebenkorn brings to life a sense of both vulnerability and strength, typical of his oeuvre. This piece, created during a prolific period in his artistic development, showcases his mastery of line and composition.
