...sees the profound consistency with which he has pursued his essential lan guage as a painter - how the zigzagging pipes under the basin in Corner of Studio - Sink, 1963, relate to the angular chops of dark shadow in his earlier Berkeley landscapes, and are exquisitely refined in the later Ocean Parks; how the vitreous transparencies of his Californian rooms in the late '50s, gridded by mul lions and tabletops, become the sharp glazed intercuts of Ocean Park...

...Ocean Parks, the monumental series of paintings Diebenkorn began in 1967 and named after the Los Angeles suburb where he now lives, have attracted their share of hyperbole. One New York critic likened them to both Rubens' Marie de Medici cycle in the Louvre and Mantegna's frescoes in the Ducal Palace in Mantua - which may be the silliest indulgence since Truman Capote last compared himself to Marcel Proust.

One millionaire Demarest met lived on the ocean liner Ile de France-crossing and recrossing the Atlantic. Demarest speculates that the eccentric bon vivant, keeping up with the times, now lives aboard a Concorde. "Of the newly rich people I have known, few seemed really fulfilled," says Demarest.
