Christopher Knight reviews the exhibition Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series on view at the Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, California through May 27, 2012.
Knight writes: "The narrative in these paintings is a story of their making... One result is an intensified sense of the here and now, a moment that seems right and sure and achingly ephemeral, poised to slip away. Diebenkorn's Ocean Park paintings are all about the pentimenti -- the earlier images, forms and strokes that have been changed and painted over. The surface opens to expose what lies beneath it, and the past becomes present."
