Ultimately, despite the practice by art historians, critics and theorists to compare and contrast the work of one artist to another in the pursuit to find understanding, it is important to look at Diamond’s paintings as exactly what they are – beautiful, mysterious and filled both with the influences of modern and contemporary art but also with a spirit reminiscent of the magic realism that Gabriel Garcia Marquez painted across the pages of his magnum opus “Love in the Time of Cholera.”
