Richard Diebenkorn Post

The next artist that we will be studying is Richard Diebenkorn. Of all his art, I was really fascinated by the painting below. Firstly, I love his creative distortion of the table through the glass. He creates the idea of a tall vase by blending the shapes together, such as the rim of the table, to create the object, rather them simply outlining it. I also like the blood-red table color, which accentuates all components on top of it. This contrast between radiating warmth of the red table, and the deep blue/purple is noticeable. I am looking forward to working with paint/oil pastel to create a work inspired by this artist.
