Your Diebenkorn Studies Homework for the week
Read Tyler Green's articles on two of Diebenkorn's Ocean Park paintings. Here is the one on #38 and Here is the one on Diebenkorn's untitled 1971 Ocean Park drawing. And then we will discuss them on Thursday here.
I have not been reading Tyler Green recently, and it is certainly something I have little explanation for. I think that he had been writing a lot about the money side of art, which I find utterly tedious (honestly, corrupt museum officials don't cause me the slightest bit of insomnia), and I got out of the habit. However, when he writes about the art itself, he demonstrates a very good eye and an equally good brain.
I will have to get back to reading him regularly.
On the art front, I have made great strides in reclaiming my studio from the floodwaters (and so far without recourse to a pump!), and am already planning the next series of paintings (OK, it is really a continuation of the last series that got interrupted by the two studio relocations and subsequent floodings, not to mention this crazy yet fun homeschooling adventure).
