About the Item

Vintage hardback monograph on the work of American abstract expressionist Robert Motherwell. Second edition, new and revised, published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc. in 1983. 250 pages. "An in-depth study of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, this expanded edition includes 75 newly added illustrations and an updated chronology, bibliography, and index. Featuring 332 total illustrations, including 116 plates in full color, the book documents Motherwell’s evolving aesthetic and intellectual preoccupations—spanning early collages, the Elegies to the Spanish Republic, and later large-scale abstractions. With thoughtful analysis and rare archival material, it captures a career deeply rooted in literature, politics, and philosophy. A foundational text on modern American art."
