Robert Motherwell (January 24, 1915 – July 16, 1991) was an American abstract expressionist painter, printmaker, and editor. He was one of the youngest of the New York School, which also included Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko. Trained in philosophy, Motherwell became an artist, regarded as among the most articulate spokesmen and the founders of the abstract expressionist painters. He was known for his series of abstract paintings and prints which touched on political, philosophical and literary themes, such as the Elegies to the Spanish Republic.

(after) Robert Motherwell
Robert Motherwell (1915–1991) was a prominent American painter and printmaker associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement. Born in Aberdeen, Washington, he studied at Stanford University and later earned a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Harvard. Motherwell gained fame for his "Elegy to the Spanish Republic" series, reflecting the Spanish Civil War's influence through bold, gestural brushwork. Beyond painting, he delved into lithography, collaborating with master printers to produce highly sought-after posters featuring his abstract forms and vivid colors. Motherwell's impactful contributions to art continue to inspire artists and collectors worldwide, solidifying his legacy in the annals of Abstract Expressionism.
