RICHARD CLIFFORD DIEBENKORN JR. (1922- 1993)
Born in Portland, Oregon, Richard Diebenkorn became a key figure in the
Bay Area (San Francisco, Oakland) figurative and abstract school of
painting.
When he was two, his family moved to San Francisco. His
grandmother encouraged Diebenkorn’s early art talent, and he remembered
often drawing locomotives on shirt cardboards as a child. He was
also intrigued with medieval heraldry and the French Bayeux
Tapestries.& (showing 500 of 5520 characters). |
