Author Description

Dynamic composition and strong color form a common thread in the diverse, career-spanning works of midcentury American artist Richard Diebenkorn. The twelve paintings in this calendar were selected from each of his three major artistic evolutions: the Sausalito, Albuquerque, Urbana, and early Berkeley periods of Abstract Expressionism; the Berkeley figurative/representational period; and the Ocean Park and Healdsburg series of abstractions. More of the artist's work is showcased in the artist monograph, Richard Diebenkorn: Beginnings, 1942–1955 (Pomegranate, 2017). All of Pomegranate's calendars are printed with soy-based inks on environmentally sourced paper.
