Diebenkorn’s “Notes to myself on beginning a painting”

Genie Touvell September 7, 2022 3 min read
Diebenkorn’s “Notes to myself on beginning a painting”
The year 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993).

Diebenkorn was a distinguished American painter, draftsman, and printmaker

“Notes to myself on starting a painting” by Richard Diebenkorn

Richard Diebenkorn was an introspective male who remained skeptical of
his results as an artist during his existence. About the many years he put in
numerous hours sitting down in a favored chair in his studio, contemplating
and hunting. Perhaps it was there that he wrote thoughts that arrived to
intellect on nearby items of paper, some torn from other utilizes.
The Diebenkorn Basis


These notes had been uncovered on paper in his studio following his death.They’re outlined Down below.
You can also see a digitised edition of the handwritten notes in the backlink
previously mentioned.

  1. Try what is not selected. Certainty may or may not occur later on. It may well
    then be a beneficial delusion.
  2. The really, original position which falls small of completeness is not to
    be valued – other than as a stimulus for even further moves.
  3. DO search.
  4. Use and respond to the initial fresh features but consider them
    completely expendable.
  5. Do not “discover” a topic – of any form.
  6. Somehow never be bored but if you have to, use it in motion. Use its
    damaging likely.
  7. Errors can not be erased but they go you from your present place.
  8. Keep contemplating about Pollyanna.
  9. Tolerate chaos.
  10. Be cautious only in a perverse way.
I to start with arrived across them
on the RA website
in relation to their exhibition of his work in 2015.

They are not the typical dictums which surface once more and once more in many
instruction textbooks about painting. Some are impenetrable to men and women who are
not Americans or not of a specific age

For example “Hold pondering about Pollyanna” only will become obvious when
you have an understanding of that Pollyanna is a character in a 1913 novel by Eleanor
H. Porter AND that she is an orphan with an unjustifiably optimistic
attitude.

To me they’re indicative of the qualities of correct mind considering and an aversion to the factual, structured, linear, systematic solution connected with left brain contemplating.

In point they are the comprehensive antithesis of “move by move” instruction. It can be about an perspective of brain which seeks to be open to possibilities instead than studying techniques for making a portray.

This is a movie of Diebenkorn talking about beginning a portray.
