Richard Diebenkorn: A Riotous Calm
“Now, the idea is to get everything right – it’s not just color or form or space or line – it’s everything all at once.” Richard Diebenkorn Whether landscape or abstract canvas, the work of American artist Richard Diebenkorn captures a sense of the light and place in which he worked, and reveals his mastery as a consummate colourist. The palette and pentimenti of his works are at once quiet and uproarious, subtle and unrestrained. Curator Sarah C. Bancroft explores Richard Diebenkorn’s consuming attention to detail and improvisational process that led to his magnificent compositions. Image caption: Sarah C.
