Game of Chance

Robert Motherwell's Game of Chance represents an innovative combination of lithography, aquatint, and paper collage on handmade paper from 1987. This multifaceted work demonstrates the artist's sophisticated approach to integrating diverse printmaking and collage techniques into a unified composition. The use of chance elements in both technique and arrangement reflects conceptual concerns that interested Motherwell throughout his career. The interplay between controlled printmaking processes and spontaneous collage elements creates visual tension and complexity. This piece exemplifies the artist's continued exploration of material combinations and expressive possibilities in printmaking.
