Untitled [female nude seated on floor] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [female nude seated on floor]" is a 1955-1967 ink drawing depicting a female nude seated on the floor with her legs crossed. The artist's signature style is evident in the loose, gestural lines that define the figure's form. The drawing's simplicity and directness exemplify Diebenkorn's exploration of the figure and his focus on capturing the essence of human form, a theme that would later become central to his acclaimed "Ocean Park" series. The use of ink, a medium that allowed for spontaneity and immediacy, is a characteristic of Diebenkorn's work from this period. This drawing, likely created as a study, showcases the artist's mastery of line and the expressive potential of this classic art material.
