Richard Diebenkorn

Richard Diebenkorn was an American artist. He was known for his abstract expressionist and later, figurative paintings that explored color, form, and space.

Diebenkorn studied at the University of California, Berkeley, and later at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. In the 1950s and early 1960s, he was associated with the Bay Area Figurative Movement, which emphasized figurative painting in opposition to the prevailing trend of abstract expressionism.

In the mid-1960s, Diebenkorn moved to Southern California, where he began to develop his signature style of abstract paintings that featured large, geometric shapes in muted colors. His Ocean Park series, which he began in the late 1960s, is perhaps his most famous body of work, and is characterized by its luminous, layered surfaces and complex compositions.

Diebenkorn's work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world, and he is widely regarded as one of the most important American painters of the 20th century. His influence can be seen in the work of many contemporary artists working in the fields of abstract painting and color field painting.
