Screenprint in colors on J.B. Green paper. Initialed in pencil and numbered. Published by Marlborough Graphics Inc., New York, and printed by Kelpra Studio, London, bearing the artist’s blindstamp. Literature: Engberg/Banach 79-88. Image: 56.5 × 43.5 cm (22 1/4 × 17 1/8 in). Sheet: 103.5 × 71.8 cm (40 3/4 × 28 1/4 in). // Untitled 8 is perhaps the most overtly elegiac plate in The Basque Suite. Two sweeping black wing-forms converge at the apex against a deep crimson ground, their dark mass evoking the mourning that runs through Motherwell's lifelong engagement with Spanish history. In the triangular gap between the black masses, a yellow-ochre flame-like gesture flickers upward, an emblem of defiance amid darkness. Heavy gestural marks anchor the base. The pairing of red and black — blood and ash, passion and loss — recalls the Elegies to the Spanish Republic that defined the artist's career. Printed by Kelpra Studio on J.B.

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.
