Richard Diebenkorn was an American painter associated with both the Abstract Expressionist and Bay Area Figurative Movements. Diebenkorn was born in Portland, Oregon but moved to with his family to San Francisco when he was still a small child. Diebenkorn enjoyed drawing at an early age and started to formally study art at Stanford University in 1940. At Stanford, Diebenkorn studied under Professor Victor Arnautoff and Daniel Mendelowitz. Diebenkorn was also heavily influenced by the work of Edward Hopper, which is apparent in his paintings.

After completing his studies, Diebenkorn spent the next decade moving around the United States. He lived in New York City and Woodstock, New York, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Urbana, Illinois and Berkeley, California. Diebenkorn spent some time away from painting during his service in the United States Marine Corps form 1943 to 1945. Under the G.I. Bill Diebenkorn was able to receive funding to continue his studies, and he enrolled in a graduate painting program at the University of New Mexico. At this time Diebenkorn was highly influenced by the Abstract Expressionist Movement, flourishing in New York City. Diebenkorn looked at such artists as Arshile Gorky and Willem de Kooning.

By the late 1950s, Diebenkorn’s style became increasingly more figurative. Diebenkorn joined artists such as Elmer Bischoff, Henry Villierme, David Park and James Weeks in forming the Bay Area Figurative Movement in California.

Diebenkorn’s figurative period lasted until the late-1960s, when he returned to abstraction. In 1967 Diebenkorn began his most well known series “Ocean Park”, which was developed over a period of twenty-five years. The series resulted in around one hundred and forty large-scale, abstract paintings. The series was named after the community in Santa Monica, California where he was working. Diebenkorn’s final series consisted of a grouping of prints, illustrating the poems of W.B. Yeats. Diebenkorn died a few years after the publication’s public release.
