American painter, Robert Motherwell, was one of the founders
and principal exponents of Abstract Expressionism*, who was among the
first American artists to cultivate accidental elements in his work. A
precocious youth, Motherwell received a scholarship to study art when
he was 11 years old. He preferred academic studies, however, and
eventually took degrees in aesthetics from Stanford and Harvard
universities.
Motherwell decided to become a serious artist only
in 1941. (showing 500 of 25662 characters). |
