Lot Essay

"As soon as I started using the figure my whole idea of painting changed. Maybe not in the most obvious structured sense, but these figures distorted my sense of interior or environment, or the painting itself-in a way that I welcomed." (R. Diebenkorn, quoted by J. Livingstone, "The Art of Richard Diebenkorn," in The Art of Richard Diebenkorn, New York, 1998, p. 50).
