The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by Richard Diebenkorn in 1949. This oil on canvas piece belongs to the Abstract Expressionism art movement and measures 114.3 by 92.1 centimeters. As an abstract genre work, it showcases the underlying freedom and emotional intensity characteristic of Abstract Expressionism.
The artwork features a diverse palette dominated by earthy tones of red, orange, and brown, with accents of black and yellow. It is marked by an array of brushstrokes that suggest a vigorous and impulsive application of paint. The composition is non-representational, focusing on the interplay of colors and shapes rather than depicting a specific subject. Distinct areas of the canvas are layered with thick and thin strokes, forming dynamic contrasts and subtle transitions between hues. Amidst the spontaneous bursts, linear elements in black and yellow meander across the painting, adding to its rhythmic and layered texture.
