Untitled [woman playing the piano] 1955 - 1967

"Untitled [woman playing the piano]" is a drawing by American artist Richard Diebenkorn. The artwork, completed between 1955 and 1967, depicts a woman playing the piano from behind. The drawing is executed with a bold and expressive use of graphite, capturing a sense of movement and energy. Diebenkorn's minimalist approach focuses on the form of the figure and the surrounding environment, creating a powerful visual experience. This study exemplifies Diebenkorn's experimentation with figuration during this period, which ultimately informed his iconic "Ocean Park" series of paintings.
