Allison Meier previews Richard Diebenkorn: The Sketchbooks Revealed at the Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University. The show will be on view from September 9 to February 8, 2016.
Meier quotes the Cantor Arts Center's Alison Gass: “The books are filled with stunningly gestural sketches of bits and pieces of daily life, both mundane capturing of everyday things, and powerful vignettes of intimate family moments ... We see brief visual meditations on vistas seen on travels, and we see carefully built studies that would become the large-scale finished Ocean Park paintings we know so well.”
