Richard Diebenkorn

Dynamic composition and strong color form a common thread in the diverse, career-spanning works of midcentury American artist Richard Diebenkorn. One of the most influential artists during the decades after World War II, his work encompassed three major artistic 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. The 12 prints in this calendar were selected from the Ocean Park series.
