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.

Stand Out Colours


The Queen's horse racing colours
The 2012 London Olympic games volunteer's uniform

"In Britain every racehorse owner must register at least one unique set of colours, or "silks". The Queen's colours of purple, gold braid, and scarlet sleeves have been in use since the time of Edward VII (1841-1910)." 
"The uniforms worn by 70.000 volunteers at the London 2012 Games had to stand out from the crowd so they were designed with the regal deep purple and vibrant poppy red colours."

Romanesco Cauliflower Rock and Roll

I bought this wonderful Romanesco and I'll experience with it today.
Its fractal system and colour is exceptional. I'll try to keep the original visual effect.






















This is the result:




































The recipe:

First you cut the bottom of your Romanesco so it can fit into your pot, and arrange the cut parts around it.
You add half height of water and one cube of Maggi or Knorr vegetable stock and make it boil with the lid on, then cook for 10 minutes.
Place your Romanesco on an oven-plate and cover with the sauce you made with the liquid.
The sauce is simple:
Stir into the still boiling liquid the mixture of two tablespoons of sour crème (or in French shops crème fraiche) and two tablespoons of flour with a small water ( just to be able to stir).
Add salt, pepper and nutmeg, taste. Maybe you'll need a half teaspoon of sugar as well. It will be better if you add a tablespoon of butter. Make it boil while stirring. Now with your electric blender make a nice sauce of this hot liquid: it has to be thick and bright.
In the meantime stir two tablespoons of bread crumble into 2 tablespoons of hot olivaoil and stir till its colour becomes darker and you feel the smell. Don't make it too dark!
Spread this over the Romanesco and put into a hot oven for 10 minutes just to get it together.
You cut it like a cake.
Enjoy!
