Untitled [landscape] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn’s “Untitled [landscape]” from 1955-1967 is an abstract landscape painting. The artist is known for his “Ocean Park” series, which depicted the ocean and surrounding landscape near Los Angeles. The painting is a watercolor on paper, measuring 10 13/16 x 16 15/16 inches, and features a muted color palette, with soft washes of blues, greens, and reds. The painting focuses on the viewer’s relationship to the space, using loosely sketched lines and shapes to create a sense of depth and perspective. The image is an early example of Diebenkorn’s transition from figurative to abstract art, marking a turning point in the artist’s development.
