Untitled (Elegy Sketch for National Gallery Mural) 1977 - 1980

This sketch for a mural, titled "Untitled (Elegy Sketch for National Gallery Mural)", was created by American Abstract Expressionist painter Robert Motherwell between 1977 and 1980. The artwork uses a limited color palette of black, brown, and light blue, demonstrating Motherwell’s signature style. His works are often characterized by their bold, gestural lines and abstract forms, echoing the emotion of the human condition. This particular piece is part of his “Elegy to the Spanish Republic” series, which explores themes of loss, memory, and the human struggle for freedom.
