The artwork titled “Women Outside,” crafted by Richard Diebenkorn in 1957, is an oil painting on canvas within the Expressionism art movement. It is categorized under the portrait genre and measures 138.4 x 148.3 cm.
In the artwork, two women are depicted seated outdoors against a backdrop of a vast, expansive green field and an impassive sky. Diebenkorn employs a muted color palette with broad, expressive brushstrokes that define the forms and create a sense of contemplation and stillness. The women’s figures, though simplified and abstracted, evoke a subtle interrelation with their surroundings, blending softly into the open landscape. The painting captures a quiet moment, with the figures formed in a contemplative posture, connected by their shared space yet individually engrossed in their own reveries.
