Africa 4 1970

"Africa 4" is a 1970 lithograph by American artist Robert Motherwell (1915-1991). This abstract work is a bold black-and-white image with a central vertical shape rising from two horizontal forms. The stark contrast of black and white enhances the geometric simplicity, emphasizing the power of abstract shapes and lines. Motherwell's "Africa" series, which began in the 1960s, is known for its exploration of the human condition and the complex relationship between abstraction and representation.
