Consider the images of three  paintings by Abstract

  • Expressionist Master Richard Diebenkorn (1922-

  • 1993).

​ 
  • Imagine if you rotated them, combined them, and

  • then painted a smaller imitation.






 
  • That's what another artist and I  challenged each

  • other to do: make a Dibebenkorn









  • Diebenkorn Challenge  No.1 is contrasted below.


  • The Real Diebekorns (left) are in the first row. Our homage is detailed in

  • the second row.
