A touch of glass Apr 15, 2008
The new Katz wing of the Phoenix Art Museum is an architecturally impressive addition that houses works by Richard Diebenkorn and Ed Ruscha.

Towering work of art Nov 7, 2007
" Lenehan came up with a number of visual schemes, some chic Minimalist abstractions, others with more representational imagery, before she hit on the mode of the mural now being installed (it is expected to be complete when the building opens at the end of November). She was inspired by the forms and changing colors of the Marin hills and Yosemite foothills she rode through on her bicycle. "I soaked up all that color," said Lenehan, who created the biggest piece of her career with the... (San Francisco Chronicle)

Capturing spontaneity as composed chaos Jul 22, 2007
Compare the Franz Kline ink drawing here with one from a few years later by Richard Diebenkorn, and you see immediately how contrasts in temperament can engage the eye far more completely than art historical facts do the mind. A group show such as "The Passionate Gesture" may deliver scant sense of a period or of a shared sensibility to visitors not informed about them beforehand. (San Francisco Chronicle)
Pointing out creativity's goofy side Jul 17, 2007
You will learn the origin of a photograph on view elsewhere in the show in which Gibbons poses with a painting by Richard Diebenkorn.

Palo Alto show a lush garden of painterly delights Jul 8, 2007
When design overtakes McCormack's work, it strangles the nourishing passage into her art of remembrances of Henri Matisse, Richard Diebenkorn, Pierre Bonnard, even Barnett Newman. But the Palo Alto Art Center show does for McCormack what a survey should do: It inspires confidence in her as an artist and confirms a growing, uncalculating authority -- just what we hope to see in a painter's art.

S.F. vs. N.Y. -- framing a debate that just won't die Jan 21, 2007
This confidence could bring tremendous aesthetic wattage into objects as various as an abstract ink drawing by Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993), a fraught 1960 figurative painting by Nathan Oliveira and the 1962 "Nocturn" by Hans Hofmann (1880-1966), which looks on the verge of exploding.

Although Bischoff, along with Richard Diebenkorn and David Park, is a major figure in the California abstract expressionist movement, Tiff Garcia says his brother was never a serious student and it's unlikely he even remembered his instructor's name.

Like the so-called Bay Area Figuration of Richard Diebenkorn and Elmer Bischoff, Sheehan's pictures discover abstract formal values in views painted from observation.

French leave Feb 23, 2006
One thinks of Ellsworth Kelly and Richard Diebenkorn, for instance, both of whom drew on Parisian experience, or on the idea of Paris, of tracings and memories of Paris, as inspiration for their entirely American-seeming abstractions. Kelly found the vocabulary for the American-seeming geometry of minimalism in his photographs of the shapes of Parisian shadows, and Diebenkorn used Matisse's view of Notre Dame again and again as the tuning fork for his own abstract record of the light of...
