Robert Motherwell Early Collages













details
Guggenheim
New York

After a trip to Mexiko in 1941 and under the tutorial of Roberto Matta Motherwell started the cutting, tearing, layering and glueing of decorative and special papers, maps, wooden veneers and textile pieces, painting them with the mastering of pastel colours... with fire oranges, ochre and golden yellows, dark blood reds, ultramarine and cobalt blues, mortal greys... light and dark tones... shiny and matt surfaces... he created a dark and raw abstract collage art with a touch of surrealist improvisatory technique.
