The Abstract Expressionist artist Robert Motherwell 1915-1991 was best known as a painter but he also created a remarkable body of works on paper. The drawings prints and collages in this book show a more intimate side of his visual sensibility; they reveal the very personal "handwriting" of the artist as he responded to the subtleties of paper both as a medium and a material. Motherwell was in fact a most extraordinary draftsman as this volume testifies. Catalogue published for an exhibition held at the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery Columbia University New York January-March 1997 and two other locations/times. Harry N. Abrams / the Miriam and Ira D. Wallace Art Gallery, Columbia University hardcover books
