Untitled [female nude with hand in lap and raised left arm] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [female nude with hand in lap and raised left arm]" is a dynamic ink drawing that captures the essence of the human form. Created between 1955 and 1967, this work exemplifies Diebenkorn's exploration of figuration and abstraction. The artist's gestural lines and fluid strokes convey a sense of movement and energy, emphasizing the body's contours while leaving much to the viewer's imagination. The figure is depicted in a simplified, almost skeletal manner, hinting at the artist's interest in the underlying structure of the body. This drawing is a testament to Diebenkorn's mastery of line and his exploration of the human form as a subject for artistic expression.
