Robert Motherwell — Africa Suite: Africa 9
Robert Motherwell

Africa Suite: Africa 9

A bold and gestural screenprint from Motherwell's *Africa Suite*, this work showcases his signature abstract expressionist vocabulary through sweeping, painterly forms rendered in a rich interplay of colors. The composition reflects Motherwell's deep engagement with automatism and emotional abstraction, evoking a raw, primal energy tied to the suite's evocative title. Printed on J. G. Green paper with full margins, the work retains the spontaneous, gestural quality of his painted works while demonstrating the expressive potential of the screenprint medium.
