"On the process of painting, American painter Richard Diebenkorn once wrote, "I want painting to be difficult to do. The more obstacles, obstructions, problems ... the better." In part, he meant that the freest artistic expression was often the result of some sort of restraint. Much like Shakespeare writing within the rigorous poetic form of the sonnet, Diebenkorn found his format in the vertical, rectangular, human-size canvases that he ..."
"Diebenkorn produced a vast and sophisticated body of works on paper. This volume reveals the importance of these drawings in the Ocean Park period and, with the aid of documentary photographs, highlights pertinent aspects of the artist's studio spaces and working processes. The luminous textural details of the drawings come alive in this intimate book."

"In this memorable first book, Kent Shaw explores layers of devotion, illusion, and sacrifice in abstract and personal terms. At age eighteen, he enlisted for six years of service in the U.S. Navy. Midway through, his unadulterated patriotism shifted to unanticipated doubt. Calenture- whose title refers to a sickness sailors suffer as they come to believe the ocean is a meadow, try to walk into it, and find themselves drowning- draws upo ..."

"Richard Diebenkorn is an expanded edition of Gerald Nordland's authoritative study of the painter, first published in 1987 and now reissued by Rizzoli, a leading publisher of fine-art books. Diebenkorn, who died in 1993, long ago entered the pantheon of great modernist artists. He was an early abstract expressionist, then went through a less successful stage of figural painting. Abruptly changing direction in the late 1960s, he rediscov ..."

This book shows these prints, in addition to a group of 8 color etchings made in 1980. Deibenkorn's prints, more immediate and more intimate than the paintings, furnish a chronological commentary on the painted ..."
