Beau Geste pour Lucrece
A striking print by the celebrated Abstract Expressionist Robert Motherwell, *Beau Geste pour Lucrece* exemplifies his masterful command of bold, gestural forms and the emotional weight he imbued in his work. This limited edition piece, numbered 96/100 and signed in pencil by the artist, reflects Motherwell's deep engagement with literary and humanist themes, here evoking the tragic Roman figure of Lucretia. Published by the artist himself and bearing his distinctive blindstamp, this work stands as both a personal statement and a testament to Motherwell's enduring influence on postwar American printmaking.
