In the late 1960s Richard Diebenkorn began his "Ocean Park series"; created during the final 25 years of his career and they are important examples of color field painting. The "Ocean Park series" exemplified by "Ocean Park No.129," connects his earlier abstract expressionist works with Color field painting. During the early 1950s, Richard Diebenkorn was known as an abstract expressionist, and his gestural abstractions were close to the New York School in sensibility but firmly based in the San Francisco abstract expressionist sensibility; a place where Clyfford Still has a considerable influence on younger artists by virtue of his teaching at the San Francisco Art Institute.
