Africa 5 1970

"Africa 5" (1970) is a bold and striking print by American Abstract Expressionist artist Robert Motherwell. The work, characterized by its stark black shapes against a pale background, embodies Motherwell's signature style. The composition, featuring a central dark shape that appears to be both a rectangle and a form in motion, evokes a sense of dynamism and energy, typical of Motherwell's works. Motherwell's abstract works often served as visual metaphors for themes of life and death, love and loss, and the human condition.
