Diebenkorn was a west coast painter associated with the Bay Area figurative artists David Park, Elmer Bischoff and others. The Ocean Park series of paintings done in the mid 70's were elegant tropes on abstract landscapes. His indebtedness to Matisse was obvious and his hand was just as facile as that great master. His use of horizontal, vertical and diagonal structure skeined with luscious color was mimicked by many but mastered by only him.
