Erickson* This is the catalog of one of the two USAmerican artists represented at the 1978VeniceBiennial Exposition, whose theme was From Nature to Art and from Art to Nature.

While the 16 paintings and 10 drawings selected for exhibition and reproduced in the catalog were drawn from his 'Ocean Park' series (dating from 1967 to 1978), she deals primarily with his earlier works that serve as a base for an appreciation of his most recent work. She relies, perhaps too much, on quotes from Diebenkorn and from other writers, nevertheless her deft organization of the material and her own interpolations reveal not only an obvious sympathy for the artist's work but also an understanding of the purposefulness behind the moves Diebenkorn has made to obtain the recognition he has achieved. At the very least, the inclusion of these other writers' comments from the past two decades points up her contention that 'Diebenkorn has never been neglected as a painter' and that it became apparent very early that his development would be worth following. Ironically, early criticism had also to deal with Diebenkorn's unbalanced acknowledgement of his roots in the work of, for example, Hopper and Matisse, his own insistent description of himself as a 'traditional painter', an implied distrust of anything redolent of the 'avant-garde', and his emigration from New York City at a time when many eyes were focused on the art scene there.

It is particularly this openness, which he has termed his 'negotiations' with painting, that lies near the heart of any appraisal of his work. Throughout her essay Cathcart builds on the apparent paradox of a painter in search of a way to arrive at a method that will best keep the method from dominating his work.
