Robert Motherwell

Redness of Red

A bold and visceral exploration of color and emotion, Robert Motherwell's *Redness of Red* combines screenprint, lithograph, and collage in a vibrant interplay of rich hues on Arches Cover paper. The work exemplifies Motherwell's mastery of Abstract Expressionism, using the intense saturation of red as both a formal and psychological force. The bright, fresh colors retain a striking immediacy, reflecting the artist's belief in the raw expressive power of color and gesture.
