Richard Diebenkorn, 1922 – 1993, was a modern painter whose work had three main phases. He was a successful abstract painter who then turned to landscape and figures and then, remarkably enough, went back to abstraction with a fresh perspective to finish his career.
His first finished painting (1943) reveals the influence of Hopper — compare Hopper’s:
Approaching a City
with Diebenkorn’s
Palo Alto.
