Lithograph in colors and chine appliqué on TGL handmade paper and red Moriki handmade paper - Hand signed and numbered in pencil. - Published by Tyler Graphics Ltd., Bedford Village, New York "// Robert Motherwell's 'Gypsy Curse (Engberg & Banach 314)' (1983) is a striking lithograph that showcases his distinct abstract expressionist style. The piece features a bold black gestural form set against a vibrant red-orange background created with chine appliqué on handmade paper. The simplicity of the composition, with its central abstract shape resembling a cross or figure, is contrasted by the intensity of the color. The brushstrokes are characteristic of Motherwell’s spontaneous, gestural approach, evoking both emotion and a sense of raw energy. The use of handmade papers—TGL handmade paper and red Moriki handmade paper—adds a tactile quality to the piece, highlighting the artist’s attention to material and texture. The composition can be interpreted as a meditation on form and space, with the open, abstract structure inviting multiple readings. This work, like many of Motherwell’s, reflects his ongoing interest in the interplay between form, color, and the emotional resonance of abstraction."
