Untitled [female nude seated on cushions] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [female nude seated on cushions]" is a dynamic black ink drawing executed on paper, showcasing the artist's signature gestural style. The work, dating from 1955-1967, captures a female nude in a seated pose, her body rendered in a series of flowing lines that emphasize movement and form. The simplified contours and expressive lines create a sense of immediacy, characteristic of Diebenkorn's exploration of the human figure, which often intertwined with his abstract landscapes. The drawing exemplifies Diebenkorn's adeptness at capturing the essence of his subject with a minimum of strokes.
