Description
"Diebenkorn enrolled in a creative writing class with professor of English Kenneth Lash (1918–1985), and they became friends. Lash had contacts in Albuquerque's Old Town and introduced Diebenkorn to Joan Evans, who sought a mural for her apartment. The mural has disappeared, but snapshots show the 5 x 10-foot work, in unidentified paints on plaster [figure 19 (cat. 873)]" (Gerald Nordland, "Richard Diebenkorn: Routes to New Mexico," 2007 UNM–Taos cat., pp. 20–21).
