Africa, 1965 by Robert Motherwell

Robert Motherwell was highly prolific both as an artist and as a critic and lecturer. His understanding of various different styles inform a lot of his art - Surrealism within his early work and his later collages such as 'Unglueckliche Liebe' ('Unhappy Love') (1975) and Abstract Expressionism clearly evident in 'Elegies'. However, he always retains an understanding of the world around him, conveying a sense of humanity as opposed to cold intellectualism.
