Historical Artist - Richard Diebenkorn (1922 - 1993)
Richard Diebenkorn was born in Portland, Oregon, and refined his artistic talent on the west
coast, away from trends in Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism. He attended the California School
of Fine Arts in San Francisco in 1946, and taught there afterwards. His interest was in
landscapes created with broad strokes of color, which he expanded later to study color-fields
and the work of Symbolist painters.His early work is associated with Abstract expressionism and
the Bay Area Figurative Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. His later work (best known as the Ocean
Park paintings) were instrumental to his achievement of worldwide acclaim.
