In his mid-twenties, Robert Motherwell (1915 – 1991) came to New York City and joined a group of artists which included Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko and Franz Kline. These painters, believing the prevalent American style of realism depicted only the surface of American life, set out to explore the deeper sense of reality beyond the recognizable and influenced by the Surrealists, gave birth to Abstract Expressionism. Motherwell, was the youngest and most prolific of the group and beginning in 1940, from their Greenwich Village community, these exciting, young artists made daring experiments in painting and in the intellectual investigations surrounding it. Motherwell is also the only member for whom printmaking became a major preoccupation. |
