Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) foi uma figura central na história da pintura moderna. A Ocean Park series distingue-se por grandes pinturas luminosas construidas em cima de um sistema estruturado, com extensa camadas de tinta translúcida raspadas e retrabalhadas - processos que são perceptíveis ao espectador.
Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) was a pivotal figure in the history of modern painting. The Ocean Park series is distinguished by large, luminous paintings that build upon a grid-like system, with extensive reworking and scraped layers of translucent paint — processes that are discernible to the viewer.

Consisting of monumental, geometric panes of saturated color, the ethereal and powerful paintings in the Ocean Park series capture the psychology of place that defined the California coast during this time and showcase the innovations and improvisations of an artist whose work inspired legions of artists and greatly advanced the lexicon of abstraction.

"Diebenkorn investigou a tensão entre o mundo real e sua própria paisagem interior para produzir alguns dos trabalhos mais inovadores, influentes e atemporais da arte durante este período decisivo de sua carreira.
"Diebenkorn investigated the tension between the real world and his own interior landscape to produce some of the most innovative, influential, and timeless works of art during this decisive period of his career.
Estas não são paisagens ou interiores arquitetônicos, mas abstrações topograficamente enraizadas nas quais um sentido da luz distorcida surge através do processo de pintura. "
These are not landscapes or architectural interiors but topographically rooted abstractions in which a sense of the skewed light and place of that time emerges through the painting process."
