Robert Motherwell. With Pen and Brush. - Caws, Mary Ann
With Pen and Brush (Reaktion Books - Essays in Art and Culture)
KORTE INHOUD
Robert Motherwell was by far the most intellectual and articulate of the Abstract Expressionists. This book, written by a friend of the artist, the well-known writer and critic Mary Ann Caws, examines Motherwell’s way of thinking and writing in relation to his paintings. The artist, American by birth, yet simultaneously American and European in his way of visualizing and vocalizing artistic and philosophical traditions, always worked between these two poles, and it is this tension that imbues his oeuvre with its particular quality.
