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 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.
