SynopsisIncludes nearly two hundred reproductions of Richard Diebenkorn's paintings and drawings and 6 photographs, with a foreword, chronology, bibliography, and index. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Richard Diebenkorn: Beginnings, 1942-1955 Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, California, October 8, 2017-January 7, 2018 David Owsley Museum of Art, Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana, February 1-May 20, 2018 Portland Art Museum, Oregon, June 16-September 23, 2018 Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art, Pepperdine University, Malibu, California, January 12-April 7, 2019 Academy Art Museum, Easton, Maryland, April 19-July 14, 2019, Audiences today generally know Richard Diebenkorn's career in terms of three major evolutions: the Sausalito, Albuquerque, Urbana, and "early Berkeley" periods of Abstract Expressionism (1947-1955); the Berkeley figurative/representational period (1955-1966); and the Ocean Park (1967-1988) and Healdsburg (1988-1992) series of abstractions. Yet Diebenkorn's earliest paintings and drawings remain little known.This catalogue focuses on Diebenkorn's evolution to maturity. It features nearly two hundred paintings and drawings, many from the archives of the Richard Diebenkorn Foundation, that precede his shift to figuration. These early pieces evolved rapidly from representational landscape scenes and portraits of military colleagues, to semiabstract and Surrealist-inspired depictions of topography and the human form, to the artist's mature Abstract Expressionist paintings. Many of these pieces will be unfamiliar to the public, yet they offer a fuller picture of Diebenkorn's precocious achievements and set the stage for what was yet to come.
