Untitled B439 (from Octavio Paz suit)

Robert Motherwell's Mexico City Personages I, 1988 lithograph, features abstract figures in black on a warm background.

Original Lithograph and Chine Applique on Paper - Published by The Limited Editions Club New York - Suite: The Octavio Paz Suite // Robert Motherwell's Mexico City Personages I from the Octavio Paz Suite (1988) is a lithograph with chine appliqué on paper, measuring 26.25 x 31.75 cm. This limited edition print uses sparse, gestural lines to depict abstracted figures or “personages,” inspired by the cultural and poetic influences of Octavio Paz’s work. The figures are loosely sketched in black on a warm background, with an expressive simplicity that suggests movement and character. Motherwell’s minimalist approach allows viewers to interpret the forms freely, capturing an essence of human presence and interaction through abstraction, while alluding to the vibrancy and depth of Mexican cultural heritage.

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
