2010 Art Exhibits in San Francisco...Richard Diebenkorn

By innerspace
Two San Francisco art galleries are presenting landmark exhibitions of paintings by Richard Diebenkorn and Helen Frankenthaler during April, May, and June 2010.


Richard Diebenkorn | Paintings and Drawings from the Collection of Christopher Diebenkorn at the Paul Thiebaud Gallery opens on April 20, 2010 and runs until June 26, 2010.


Instead of the gestural techniques of the Abstract Expressionist and Color Field painting movements of the 1950's, Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) developed a more controlled style, where the geometric lines accumulated during the drawing and painting process remain visible.


In addition to other modern artists and his academic colleagues, Diebenkorn's residential location influenced his work. Here are some highlights from the show, which not only features abstract works from Diebenkorn's earlier Sausalito (1947-1949), Albuquerque (1950-1952), Urbana (1952-1953), and Berkeley (1953-1966) periods, but also from his later Santa Monica (1966-1988), and Healdsburg (1988-1993) periods.
