On Richard Diebenkorn: Feb 27

Diebenkorn (and Others): Early and Late
Wednesday, February 27, 6:30 pm
New York University
Silver Center, Room 300 (enter at 32 Waverly Place)

In this lecture, John Elderfield, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, will explore the significance of Diebenkorn’s early work in New Mexico—which anticipates modes of organization and feeling that continued throughout his career—noting the rarity of such an early-late affinity. Along the way, he will discuss Diebenkorn’s sources in the art of Edward Hopper, Giorgio de Chirico, and late Cubism, all filtered through the painter’s encounters with Abstract Expressionism and the transformative effect of New Mexico’s desert landscape.
