Robert Motherwell: Collage (BERNARD JACOBSO)

Robert Motherwell: Collage (BERNARD JACOBSO)
- Used Book in Good Condition
A number of Robert Motherwellâ€™s most important early works were collage-paintings, beginning with his first effort in the spring of 1943, â€œPierrotâ€™s Hat,â€ made while working alongside Jackson Pollock in the latterâ€™s studio. â€œI took to collage like a duck to water,â€ Motherwell later reflected, and he continued to â€œplay with papersâ€ for the rest of his life, esteeming his skill in the medium as one of his â€œchief gifts.â€ Collage also helped the artist reconcile his relationship to European modernism (particularly Surrealism) on the one hand, and American Abstract Expressionism on the other. Reproducing a concise selection of collages from throughout the artistâ€™s career in full color, this volume also includes a series of â€œcase studiesâ€ on individual collages and broader essays by critic Mel Gooding that examine their composition, palette and literary allusions, and Motherwellâ€™s unique position bridging Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism.
