- A presentation by art writer John Seed discussing artist Richard Diebenkorn's skeptical and probing approach to art making. Originally presented as a webinar for the Winslow Art Center, Dec. 13th, 2021.
Informative round up of the three stages. Thank you.
Thank you for this fantastic talk.
Thank you so much for this. Diebenkorn was such a master and remains an inspiration.
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it.
Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation! Thank you for sharing this with us. I was an art student back in the '80s and then had a career in graphic design & advertising. During the lockdowns of the pandemic I rediscovered my love of abstract painting and have just been accepted into my first juried show at age 58! I have become slightly obsessed with the mid-century American masters, and RD is right up there for me with Frankenthaler and Twombly. Thank you so much for this deep dive!

Thank you for sharing this talk. Diebenkorn is such a master, and hearing about his own grapple with doubt is really helpful.
I recently discovered Diebenkorn's work and now I am fascinated by everything Diebenkorn-related. I found the "notes to myself" and printed them out in large lettering in my studio (such as it is). Then I watched your video and was delighted to see that you included those same "notes to myself" in your talk. It was nice to see the handwritten version since I had only seen the words printed. I also loved how you showed what Diebenkorn wrote to himself on his paintings. You gave a true glimpse into the artist and for that I am very grateful
I really appreciate hearing this: thank you!
Excellent! I so appreciate this video! Thank you for creating and offering it. I'll be watching it many times, I'm sure.
So glad you enjoyed it!

Very insightful and helpful. Gives me more understanding and appreciation for Diebenkorn’s work. Thank you!
So kind of you to let me know!
When I attended Art Center College of Design, I studied with Richard Diebenkorn. What a sweet, wonderful man.
I don't think he ever taught at Art Center. Do you perhaps mean California College of Arts and Crafts?
1974. The old campus on Third Street in Los Angeles. Absolutely

Thank you for this very interesting analysis. You are a fantastic teacher.
Thank you Anne!
Doubt is the wrong word to use about Cezanne. Revision would be better. In this regard, Cezanne follows on from Daumier who made drawings analogous to modelling in clay as opposed to modelling in stone. This approach dominated Modernism. Also, the quote from Hughes is confusing. It conflates 'seeing' with representation. We all see perfectly well, and if our seeing becomes less accurate we get our eyes to be checked. That is why revisions to a work in progress only make sense when art operates by representation as opposed to seeing.
Thanks Leslie, for a very insightful response.
His paintings to me are very lonely and detached. And his figures seem awkward. He has a great sense of colour but overall they are important because to me they show the loneliness and detachment of American society. I see a nice man who was full of doubts which makes a change from a lot of Americans who appear over confident.
Hi Mary, I think your comments are astute. When Diebenkorn was starting out he greatly admired Edward Hopper who really was the master of American loneliness.
