Untitled [side view of squatting female nude] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn’s Untitled [side view of squatting female nude] (1955-1967) is a charcoal drawing on paper that depicts the figure of a woman in a squatting pose. The drawing features a loose, gestural style that highlights the artist’s interest in the human form. The lines are long and sweeping, creating a sense of movement and energy. The figure is rendered in a simplified, almost abstract manner, emphasizing the contours of the body over realistic detail. This work represents Diebenkorn’s shift towards abstraction and reflects the artistic trends of the 1950s and 1960s.
