Abstract Art's Virgil,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Collected Writings of Robert Motherwell (Documents of Twentieth Century Art) (Paperback)
Motherwell was a superb writer in addition to being a painter. This anthology spans 1941-1988. It's a great read, not only for it's insights into art but also for capturing the flavour of the time. In a sense it let's you stand behind Motherwell's shoulder and peer into his thoughts and see how he viewed modern art both from a philosophical view point as well as aesthetic. A lot of it is drawn from his public writings and speeches but a lot is fairly personal in nature, taken from his journals. It's well annotated and useful if you're interested in the abstract movement.

BRILLIANCE,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Collected Writings of Robert Motherwell (Documents of Twentieth Century Art) (Paperback)
Robert Motherwell, is one of the great geniuses of American art. His Paintings are broad and powerful images; more "pure" than many other of the abstract painters of his day. This is a superlative book, which lets you into Motherwells mind. Any reader will see his sharp criticism and poignant observations, those who are open will take them to heart.
