Richard Diebenkorn’s Abstract Impressionism
American painter, Richard Diebenkorn’s early abstract impressionism work is not well known. But his Albuquerque period (1950-52), created a solid foundation for future work.
His individualist style were based, in part, of earlier works of abstract expressionists from a decade earlier.
By the 1960s, he had become a known and respected abstract expressionist on America’s Pacific coast.
Closing soon is an exhibit of his influential work, at The Phillips Collection, in Washington, DC.
