Redness of Red 1985

"Redness of Red" (1985) is a print by American abstract expressionist artist Robert Motherwell (1915-1991). The artwork features a vibrant red background with geometric shapes and collaged elements, including fragments of music sheets and other printed materials. This piece embodies Motherwell's signature "Elegies to the Spanish Republic" series, exploring themes of loss, memory, and the power of abstract forms to evoke profound emotions. The bold red color and the fragmented nature of the collage create a sense of depth and tension, inviting viewers to engage in a contemplative experience.
