Catalogue of the traveling retrospective organized by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and shown in Buffalo, Cincinnati, Washington (Corcoran), New York (Whitney), Los Angeles (LACMA) and Oakland in 1976-77, with more than 150 paintings and works on paper. Covers Diebenkorn's work from the 1943 Palo Alto Circle through the Albuquerque, Urbana and Berkeley abstractions, the figurative paintings of 1955-67, and the Ocean Park series to 1976. Cathcart's essay is a documentary chronology built from contemporary reviews. Comparative illustrations of works by Cezanne, Matisse, Mondrian, Gorky and Rothko accompany the essays.
