Beau Geste Pour Lucrece: plates I; IV; V; and VI

Robert Motherwell's *Beau Geste Pour Lucrece* is a suite of prints showcasing the artist's signature Abstract Expressionist sensibility, combining gestural marks with a refined graphic sensibility. Plates I, IV, V, and VI, each signed and numbered in pencil with an edition of 100 plus 15 artist's proofs, reflect Motherwell's deliberate and intimate engagement with the printmaking process. Published by the artist himself and bearing his distinctive blindstamp, these framed works demonstrate his commitment to the print medium as a serious and personal form of artistic expression.

Medium
All signed and numbered 52/100, 52/100, 3/100 and 52/100 in pencil (there were also 15 artist's proofs in Roman numerals for each), published by the artist (with his blindstamp), all framed.
