Soot-Black Stone, #3

Robert Motherwell Soot-Black Stone #4 lithograph with dark stone-like form and white contour lines on black background.

Lithograph on Georges Duchêne Hawthorne of Larroque, handmade. Signed and numbered to lower margin. Image: 29.8 × 18 in (76 × 46 cm) Sheet: 35.7 × 23.75 in (90 × 60 cm) Printed and published by Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles. Literature: Engberg/Banach 165 | Gemini 599 | Belknap 116 An example of this work is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. Soot-Black Stone, #4 by Robert Motherwell, completed in 1975, is part of a hauntingly minimal lithograph series printed on handmade Georges Duchêne Hawthorne of Larroque paper. A dark, textured form—resembling a jagged stone or fossil—anchors the center of a deep black field. It is framed by sparse, curving white lines that gently suggest movement, human form, or containment. This composition emphasizes absence, tension, and introspection—hallmarks of Motherwell’s meditative abstraction. Printed and published by Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, and included in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, this piece stands as a quiet yet powerful example of Motherwell's late graphic work.

What is lyrical abstraction ?

Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
