The artwork titled “Untitled (Lemons and Jar)” by Richard Diebenkorn, created in 1958, employs oil on canvas as its medium, indicative of the Expressionism art movement. This still life painting measures 45.7 by 61 cm.
The composition of the artwork features a simplistic yet intriguing arrangement of elements on a table. Dominating the scene is a transparent glass jar positioned near the upper edge, casting a prominent shadow that adds depth and a play of light to the piece. Beside the jar are two lemons, rendered with a textured application of paint that captures their vibrant yellow against the deep reds and blues of the surrounding environment. The background exhibits vigorous brushstrokes and a rich palette, typical of Expressionist techniques, conveying an emotional intensity and a dynamic visual experience.
