“[My] primary concern in painting is space, which to me is the most characteristic thing about New Mexico,” said #RichardDiebenkorn at twenty-nine while in his final month of a master’s degree at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. . The wide open space of the New Mexico high desert with its vast sky were reflected in the artist’s paintings at the time. Shown here is a large-scale example Diebenkorn made shortly after receiving his degree. Broad areas of brushed color, spiderlike lines, and organic forms replaced the more formal, geometric shapes and use of outline of his earlier works.

Is that an Ocean Park painting in the background? Architectonic elements suggestive of Richard Diebenkorn’s seminal abstract series, spanning from the mid-1960s to the late ‘80s, began appearing in his figurative works several years prior. . Our #DiebenkornDraws feature mixes it up this week with two representational works, one painting and one drawing, both with interior backgrounds evocative of the artist’s Ocean Park abstractions. We begin with the drawing: milky washes of gouache combine with pencil and charcoal lines, forming a woman seated on a stool whose surrounding environ seems to almost envelop her. “After I returned from Russia [in 1964],” the artist said, “the painting I did really flattened out, and so it was as if I was preparing to go back to abstract painting, though I didn’t know it.” . Share your personal connections to the artist’s Ocean Park paintings by using the hashtag #MyDiebenkornMoment, and we’ll share thoughtful submissions on our feed in the days to follow! .

The beauty lies in imperfection. “Years ago I learned that I couldn’t say about a painting, ‘Yes—this is it—that is what I’m after—except I’ve got to tidy up this area, unmuddy that, make another look decisive,’” said #Diebenkorn. “Following out these words I would find that the qualities that were to me rare and involved with the kind of meaning I wanted depended on every part of the whole I was responding to—the negative features, that is, awkwardness, mistakes, undeveloped parts, etc., as well as the positive ones. I think a realization can come about in the crudest terms as well as the most refined, in the most overworked terms as well as underworked, etc., and for me what looks like realization is such a rare, tenuous state that I take it where I find it.” .

The satisfying feeling that comes from a clear vista ... “I felt the need for an art which was more contemplative and possibly even in the nature of problem solving,” said #RichardDiebenkorn of his time painting representationally for a ten year period beginnings in the mid ‘50s. One can imagine sitting down in the single chair in the painting’s foreground and enjoying a solitary moment of contemplation on this #Sunday. . Santa Cruz, 1962, oil on canvas, 24 3/4 x 32 1/8 in.

A Dallas / Fort Worth #FaceOff • • Two commanding Diebenkorn Ocean Park paintings at two great institutions in Texas. • • First is “Ocean Park No. 29” (oil on canvas, 1970) at the Dallas Museum of Art, and then swipe to see “Ocean Park No. 105” (oil and charcoal on canvas, 1978) at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. • • Which do you prefer? And what kind of evolution do you see between the earlier painting and the work from eight years later?

#RichardDiebenkorn responded to his physical environment when painting. “The gradual rise of the Berkeley hills up from the bay has the effect of creating a natural amphitheater for optimal viewing of the surrounding landscape,” wrote Timothy Anglin Burgard of the artist’s surroundings during the 1950s and ‘60s. “The shimmering surface of the bay can assume an astounding spectrum of colors from blue to green to gray, or, alternatively, a silver or gold mirrorlike state at sunrise and sunset. The cyclical arrival and departure of the Bay Area’s distinctive fog creates disorienting spatial effects, as when a narrow strip of land is visible between the low-lying mist above and the bay below, creating a form of tripartite stratification.” . First appearing in the artist’s work from Albuquerque, the tripartite division became a defining characteristic of both the abstract and figurative works Diebenkorn painted in Berkeley. While elements of his environment clearly affected his work, he did not paint en plein air, and none of the four studios he occupied in Berkeley had a view of the bay. Stay tuned later in the day to see how the artist used the tripartite division in a figurative painting. . Berkeley #17, 1954, oil on canvas, 57 1/2 x 53 1/4 in. (146.1 x 135.3 cm) .

“I think the content of Diebenkorn’s work concerns the flow of things in the universe,” wrote Kathan Brown. “When he fixed a moment of that flow in a painting, drawing, or print, he would say, ‘That’s OK. Now it’s working.’ And the art creates, in people engaged with it, a catch of breath, a sense of pleasure and maybe also of vulnerability.” . Our #DiebenkornDraws series concludes today with the nude painting on paper seen in both the print and work on paper of the previous posts. It hangs on the dark wall in both images, more prominently so in the print and slightly cropped on the opposite side in the drawing. .
