Robert Motherwell was a prominent figure among the American abstract expressionists and one of the youngest members of the influential New York School, which included contemporaries such as William de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko. As a painter, printmaker, and editor of The Dada Painters and Poets: An Anthology, Motherwell was known for his intellectual approach to art, combining bold gestural forms with philosophical depth.

This work, with its fluid ink work and dynamic composition, exemplifies the artist’s signature style during the 1970s.
