Robert Motherwell ( 1915 - 1991 ) was an American Abstract Expressionist painter, printmaker, and collagist. He was one of the leading artists of The 20th Century and one of the youngest of The New York School group.

He is best known for his Abstract works which reflect his acute awareness of the richness and complexity of human experience, that touched on political, philosophical. literary and music themes.
Born and raised on The Pacific West Coast, there he developed a love for the broad spaces and bright colors that later emerged as essential characteristics of his artworks. In the early 1940's Motherwell began to exhibit his work in New York and in 1944 had his first solo exhibition at Peggy Guggenheim's " Art of the Century " Gallery, that same year The Museum of Modern Art was the first to purchase one of his works. From the mid-1940's, he became the leading voice for Avant-Garde Art n America. He was also an influential arts educator and writer with such students as Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, and Kenneth Noland.
