Lithograph in colors, on Somerset paper // Robert Motherwell's Three Figures, created in 1989, is a limited edition lithograph printed on Somerset paper, measuring 55 by 40 inches. The artwork showcases Motherwell's abstract expressionist style, featuring bold black forms against a vibrant red background. The black shapes, reminiscent of silhouettes or shadows, are organic and gestural, suggesting movement and emotion while remaining ambiguous. The intense contrast between the red and black emphasizes the drama and power of the composition, evoking a sense of tension and presence. The title, Three Figures, invites viewers to interpret the forms as human-like entities, though Motherwell’s approach leaves their identities and relationships open to interpretation. The piece highlights his mastery of using color and form to create powerful emotional and visual impact, characteristic of his contributions to the abstract expressionist movement.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
