“Richard Diebenkorn’s view is closer to the dynamism of the experienced world, expressed in expansive, organic forms that correspond to landscape elements. He is aware of the kind of materialism stated by Courbet, and the rich corporeality of his surface is a metaphor for matter.” —Herschel B. Chipp for Art News (September 1956)

“ … enormous, very freely handled abstractions of Richard Diebenkorn which, if you back into the corridor, refer loosely to landscape.” —Miriam Dungan Cross for Oakland Tribune (3 June 1956)
