Robert Motherwell and Jasper Johns: Poetic Works as Metaphor |
|||
|
Robert Motherwell and Jasper Johns: Poetic works as Metaphor focuses on the artists' collaborative efforts with poets that share the artists' vision in the first ever showing of their combined bibliophilic works. The show includes 19 Motherwell prints and 31 Johns prints. The Motherwell prints, all lithographs which were made between 1980 and 1983, are directly related to a single poem "El Negro Motherwell" written by the Spanish poet Rafael Alberti and dedicated to Motherwell. The Jasper Johns prints, etchings, and aquatints, were produced in 1976 for publication with a series of five essays, written and interpreted in English and French by Irish-born poet Samuel Beckett. The prints themselves show recurring themes associated with the artists: cross-hatching, flagstones, casts/slats, and numbers for Johns; Zen-like calligraphic images for Motherwell, plus three works in Chine colle.
