Robert Motherwell (1915–1991,
American) was a seminal Abstract
Expressionist painter and one of the
youngest to belong to the New York
School—a group of artists who produced
non-objective, abstract work between
1940 and 1960 including Jackson
Pollock, Mark Rothko, Joan Mitchell,
and Grace Hartigan. Motherwell had the
most extensive and formal education of
the group and is credited for important
contributions to avant-garde art and
thought. Printmaking contributed to an
extraordinary benchmark in his career.
He equally investigated the power of
abstraction in his prints by distilling the
monumentality of his large-scale paintings
into smaller graphic compositions such as
seen in the works that comprise London
Series I.
