A Day At The Races by Richard Diebenkorn

Three horses lean into the turn, hooves almost airborne. Diebenkorn’s *A Day At The Races* flattens the track into planes of color. The grandstand dissolves into ochre rectangles, while the sky fractures into pale blue and cream. A single white rail cuts diagonally, anchoring the scene. The horses themselves are reduced to swift, angular strokes—no detail, only motion. Hang it above a low credenza where the angles can echo the lines of mid-century furniture.
