Below
are some Diebenkorn's I have been looking at. The top two are similar, only one has a figure in it but I think both deal with an interior space in a way that is both interesting and relevant to what we have been working on. The first painting, the woman on the striped towel, is a very simple and sort of obvious approach to creating a spacial experience with the figure; I sometimes forget to pare it down, and remember that a simple approach is not neccessarily a boring one!

where did you find these?!? i've never seen any of these paintings by diebenkorn, and i'm jealous! I love the interior one without a figure - the break up of the space in abstract shapes is beautiful - its amazing how he gets his composistions to read as reality and hold together so well as abstractions.

Diebenkorn is the shit. I just google image Diebenkorn. His layering of planes is fearless. So much of his work is a lesson learned from Matisse, that mixing of real space and the pictorial, I think both are very sophisticated thinkers.
