Letter from Ad Reinhardt to Richard Diebenkorn while the artist was living in Albuquerque, Summer 1951
Ad Reinhardt and Robert Motherwell published Modern Artists in America and selected an untitled 1951 painting of Diebenkorn's for reproduction. Reinhardt, who taught at the California School of Fine Arts during the summer of 1950, was encouraged by San Francisco artists Elmer Bischoff and Frank Lobdell to look at Diebenkorn’s work. Reinhardt is unable to stop in Albuquerque, where Diebenkorn was working for his Master's, on his way back to New York, but the two artists share a brief correspondence, and Diebenkorn sends him slides of his recent work.
