#1 1978

" #1" is an etching and aquatint from 1978 by American artist Richard Diebenkorn, known for his abstract paintings and works on paper. The minimalist work features a simple yet striking composition of geometric shapes and lines. The use of black lines against a light background creates a sense of depth and space, reminiscent of the artist's "Ocean Park" series, which explored the interplay between abstract forms and the surrounding environment. Diebenkorn's exploration of the abstract is evident in his reduction of forms, which allows the viewer to experience the relationship between line and space and the overall dynamic composition.
