My Aunt Loyce Easley was a wonderful artist in New Mexico...she greatly influenced and encouraged me to explore paintings in the late 60s that were evidence of contemporary and classical artistry- she studied with Diebenkorn when he came to Santa Fe leading edge-these personal revelations are a gift-thank you

[@SandraKopo]

Really appreciate this excellent talk by Gretchen Dieberkorn. I learned a great deal about Dieborkorn through this, saw many paintings I had not seen before, and really enjoyed Gretchen's personal and intimate account of her father, his work and her life with him.

A loving, moving story beautifully shared! Thank you ever so much.

[@peacelrose]

Thank you for your wonderful talk about your father. He is my favorite artist.

[@azsoen]

Another wonderful presentation concerning one of my favorite artists of all time... As an artist myself, I appreciate this more than you can imagine...

[@dorinelerner8624]

Diebenkorn...one of my favorites! Lovely lecture.

Grand artiste ! Influencé par Matisse , il a trouvé sa propre voie . Son oeuvre est reconnaissable d'un seul voup d'oeil , figurative ou abstraite. J'aime particulièrement ses portraits et ses paysages , la "pate" particuliere de sa peinture , et les couleurs , toujours magnifiques. Sa recherche qui part de l'abstraction pour aboutir au figuratif evoque pour moi la quête de Nicolas de Stael qui eut la même démarche, les œuvres étant bien sur très differentes . Je regrette que cet artiste de premier plan , un des leaders de l'Ecole de San Francisco , ne soit pas plus souvent présenté en Europe , et particulièrement en France . J'attends avec impatience une exposition qui sera peut-être organisée un jour dans notre pays . Merci à sa fille pour son exposé passionnant ! Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas une traduction en francais ...

Thank you for making this video. Inspirational and a wonderful visual of as a dad and artist. love that photo of you in the studio, your expression is priceless!

[@cohencohen54]

What a treat! Loved hearing it all. I met him shortly before he died at his SF MOMA show.

[@lynngeosits7138]

Thank you, Gretchen, for this wonderful talk about your father and his amazing work. I love his art and find his images very beautiful and soothing. Your talk is a rich "language painting" of a great artist and father. Thanks, Gretchen! p.s. That story about how your father had Ben take the living room painting down so he could change something before Christmas dinner was funny! I also loved the story about how he dropped the gun at graduation. That probably saved his life!

[@lisengel2498]

Lovely paintings - I really liked the fluid blending of ideas returning and the variation of color as a kind of rythmic patterns and the atmosphere of a certain place. Strong, visual poetics

[@tanyaleef5138]

Enjoyed very much your presentation,
Along A very personal talk it was a luminous revelation about music appreciation , art and being a devoted painter

[@vijaybiradar4523]

Most Priceless of his works what was made by Richard Diebenkorn...

[@SuperWindhover]

I love his paintings and his life style.

[@simeonbanner6204]

He's real quality, like Guston etc. He stands above Alex Katz and others. His drawing is superb and the zip, dynamism of texture and colour. They are works you can return to. Excellent presentation by his daughter. Delight. I only hope I can one day show next to him.

[@steveturpin4242]

Very interesting insights about a great artist. Thanks.

[@JNieckarz]

[@lisengel2498]

And wonderfull collages with cutouts as a way of making abstract compositions

[@lisengel2498]

And what a great story about having a wonderfull father with eternal curiosity and understanding of the eternal fluid poetics reality and phantasy

[@amguate]

Wonderful talk.
at 44:15 she refers to an examination of artists work that refer back to other artists. Any thoughts on what book this is. Sound intersting.

[@linuswoods8881]

[@paulinawaas9204]

So very annoying with many of these recorded talks that they don't reiterate the questions from the audience.

[@arnoldhicks4847]

AMAZING, THESE PEOPLE COULD PERUADE YOU THAT SHIT CAN TURN INTO DIAMONDS!

[@tammyallen1]

You can only see shit if you don’t know shit about abstract art.
