Studio Notes

The following handwritten texts by Richard Diebenkorn are drawn primarily from two groups of notes that can be dated c. 1956–59 and c. 1966–76. They are reproduced here in their original form for the first time, although transcriptions of some of them have appeared in previous publications on the artist. Around 1970 the artist provided a group of these reflections to Gerald Nordland, who referred to them in his 1976 essay for the Albright-Knox catalogue as “miscellaneous studio notes compiled by the artist.” In 1997, at the time of the posthumous exhibition organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, Phyllis Diebenkorn gave photocopies of a selection of the notes to the authors of the exhibition’s catalogue, where some are quoted.

The celebrated American artist Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993) was a singular figure in postwar American art. Early in his career, he created abstract paintings that combined landscape influence, aerial perspective, and a deeply personal calligraphic language. Then, in late 1955, he began working in a representational mode (landscapes, figure studies, and still lifes) and was associated with the Bay Area figurative movement. Diebenkorn later abandoned figurative references in the 1960s and embarked on monumental abstract, geometrical compositions, including his celebrated Ocean Park works.

This is the first volume of a four-volume catalogue raisonné: the definitive resource on Diebenkorn’s unique works, including his paintings, works on paper, and three-dimensional objects. It provides an overview of the artist’s career, featuring essays by noted scholars John Elderfield, Ruth E. Fine, Jane Livingston, Steven Nash, and Gerald Nordland, as well as an illustrated chronology, list of exhibitions, bibliography, and selection of studio notes.
