Associated Names

Richard Diebenkorn

Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

This is a drawing of an abstract plan or concept sketch featuring notes and geometric shapes. The drawing is made on lined paper and includes freehand pencil sketches accompanied by annotations in blue ink. The top has a small detailed rectangle filled with abstract shapes and hatching, labeled with words such as "sections" and "blue?". Below this, a larger area contains loosely drawn geometric shapes and more annotations, including the words "red oxide" and "indigo." The entire piece has the appearance of a concept or idea being worked through, with lines and text suggesting consideration of color and materials.
