Just recently came across this Matisse painting that I'd never seen before and thought how much it felt like Diebenkorn's Ocean Park series. Obviously, I'm not the only one who's thought that. (Poking about online, I found this:
"In the catalogue for her 1998 Diebenkorn retrospective, Jane Livingston points to how important Matisse’s View of Notre Dame (1914) was to Diebenkorn. He first saw it at just about the time he started the Ocean Park series: The Matisse made its first American appearance in Los Angeles in early 1966. By the end of 1967, the Ocean Park series was underway.)"
