Richard Diebenkorn ( 1922 - 1993 ) was an American painter who's early work is associated with Abstract Expressionism and The Bay Area Figurative Movement of the 1950's and 1960's. His later works were instrumental to his achievement of worldwide acclaim. His artworks were influenced by other important Modern artists including Clyfford Still, Willem De Kooning, Arshile Gorky, and Henri Matisse. Described as one of the premier American painters of The Postwar Era, Diebenkorn's deeply lyrical Abstractions evoked the shimmering light and wide open spaces of California where he spent most of his entire life.
Diebenkorn lived in New Mexico from 1950 to 1952, where he created an impressive body of more than a hundred paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Until this exhibition much of his New Mexico work remained forgotten. With his coming to New Mexico, he moved toward a kind of painting that, although rigorous and considered, emits energies of freedom, freshness, and spontaneity and has inferences of landscape. Diebenkorn himself recognized that his New Mexico artworks represented a breakthrough in his artistic development.
This beautiful volume presents for the first time a comprehensive overview of this New Mexico period and investigates the critical role it played in Diebenkorn's exploration of the idiom of Abstraction in the overall oeuvre of his art. Demonstrating how the desert landscape and light affected his inspired Abstractions. This special book offers not only stunning reproductions of the artist's work, but also important new research into the life of one of the creative giants of Twentieth Century Modern Art.
