Jack Flam - Motherwell Rizzoli, 1991. Retrospective volume of the American abstract expressionist painter. Profusely illustrated with colour reproductions. - As a founding member of the ”New York School” of Abstract Expressionism, Robert Motherwell (b. 1915) played a major role in establishing the primacy of American art in the post-World War II era. In daring collages and canvases such as those in his ”Elegies to the Spanish Republic” series, Motherwell introduced a bold vocabulary of signs and symbols to abstract art, recalling the emotional power of Surrealism. This fascinating volume unearths the underlying philosophy that nourished his growth as an authoritative art critic and seminal American artist. hardcover with DJ 128 pp good condition
