Untitled [woman facing left] [recto] 1955 - 1967

This charcoal drawing, "Untitled [woman facing left] [recto]," by American artist Richard Diebenkorn, captures a female figure from the shoulders up, seen in profile and turned to the left. The artist’s use of charcoal creates a sense of immediacy and movement in the lines that define the woman's form. The gestural strokes and bold contours are characteristic of Diebenkorn’s work in the 1950s and 1960s. This work, created between 1955 and 1967, showcases Diebenkorn’s artistic journey from figuration to abstraction, a period marked by exploration of the human figure and the dynamic interplay of form and space.
