Pauillac, #4, from Summer Light Series

A luminous interplay of gestural abstraction and collage elements characterizes this lithograph, where bold organic forms float against layers of rich, atmospheric color. Motherwell's masterful integration of printed marks with collaged fragments reflects his deep engagement with the relationship between chance and intention, a hallmark of his Abstract Expressionist practice. The handmade Georges Duchêne Hawthorne of Larroque paper lends the work a tactile, contemplative quality that enhances the poetic sensibility evoked by its evocative title.
