A powerful and emotive work by Robert Motherwell, *España* employs the rich, velvety textures of aquatint and carborundum to evoke the raw intensity of the Spanish Civil War, a conflict that profoundly influenced the artist throughout his career. Deep blacks and muted earthy tones bleed and surge across the handmade Georges Duchene Hawthorne of Larroque paper, reflecting Motherwell's signature fusion of Abstract Expressionism with deeply personal and political sentiment. The full margins of the sheet enhance the sense of breathable space, allowing the gestural forms to resonate with both weight and silence.
