#22 (Albuquerque)

'#22 (Albuquerque)' by Richard Diebenkorn exemplifies his transition from Abstract expressionism to his renowned Ocean Park series of abstract, geometric, canvas-based works. The painting reflects Diebenkorn's mastery of lyrical abstraction, capturing California's shimmering light and expansive spaces. His use of Oil paints on canvas creates luminous, layered surfaces that evoke both the physical landscape and the emotional depth characteristic of postwar American art. Recognized as a leading figure in American painting, his work continues to influence the trajectory of abstract art.
