Robert Motherwell

BIOGRAPHY

Robert Motherwell was awarded a fellowship to the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles at age 11, and in 1932 studied painting briefly at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Motherwell received a B.A. from Stanford University in 1937 and enrolled for graduate work later that year in the Department of Philosophy at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. He is one of the founding fathers of the New York School of Abstract Expressionism.

He is best known for his mature work, recognizable for its graphic composition of saturated and expressive abstract brushstrokes.
