Running Elegy II, Yellow State
A bold interplay of sweeping black forms against warm yellow tones defines this striking print by Robert Motherwell, one of the leading figures of Abstract Expressionism. The fluid, gestural ovals and arching shapes echo his celebrated *Elegy to the Spanish Republic* series, conveying themes of mourning, struggle, and resilience through pure abstraction. Executed in etching and aquatint, the luminous yellow ground lends the composition a charged, atmospheric quality that distinguishes this state as particularly vibrant within Motherwell's graphic oeuvre.
