Exhibition Info"Paper was for Diebenkorn where he relentlessly practiced his ability to see, where he could make visual contact with quotidian objects and scenes that pushed him to break away from convention and move his abilities as a draftsman forward. These works on paper encompass a wide variety of rich media including acrylic, graphite, watercolor, conté crayon, gouache, oilstick and pasted paper. The paper he used had to withstand scratching, erasing, cutting and pasting. He discovered that he had a natural dexterity to mimic on paper what he saw; however, he fought continuously to upend and set off-balance his use of line, color and point of view. Most importantly he chose a non-hierarchic approach to space whereby no one part of the composition was more important than the other." —Excerpt from the exhibition's press release (vandorenwaxter.com, 2019)
