No. 4 (From The Basque Suite) 1970

"No. 4 (From The Basque Suite)" is a 1970 lithograph by American artist Robert Motherwell. The print features a bold black form, reminiscent of a "O" or "C" on a bright orange background, all set against a verdant green strip at the top. The black form appears to be rendered with brushstrokes and dripping paint, reminiscent of an abstract expressionist style. Motherwell is known for his use of bold colours and gestural lines in his art, and this piece reflects his interest in exploring the relationship between form and colour. The work is likely part of Motherwell's larger "Basque Suite" series, which often features abstract forms and themes related to the Basque country. The artwork is a fine example of his later artistic exploration of geometric abstraction and the interplay of positive and negative space.
