The LDL story, after all, is already clear: the lower the LDL, the lower the risk of heart disease. For most people in the Western world, basic changes in eating habits and life-style can drastically reduce or eliminate the threat of heart...

So it is, especially, with the Ocean Parks, whose preliminary drawings in gouache and collage go right to the edge of being paintings in their own right; it is just that in a work like Untitled (Ocean Park), 1984, you see more of the process of formation, the pentimenti, the unfolding of thought than you do in the oils. For by now, everything Diebenkorn found worth keeping in his past seems available to his perceptions in the present. This is known as artistic maturity. It is an inspiring sight, and Diebenkorn's drawing is its continuous...
