Robert Motherwell

U.S. b. 1915
Gesture II (State I) 77.0004

As an Abstract Expressionist, Robert Motherwell pursued both divisions of the New York School--action and color field painting. Gesture combines the spontaneity of action painting created by its haphazard drips, yet at the same time, provides a sense of control defined by the strong, structural planes of color. Motherwell studied at Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, and Grenoble, and also later in Paris. He returned to America in 1940 and resided in New York.
