Robert Motherwell : Open
17 Jun-28 Aug 2009
Bernard Jacobson Gallery
London W1F 9HY
Started in 1967, and inspired by a chance juxtaposition of a large and small canvas, the Open paintings occupied Motherwell for nearly two decades. Intimate and meditative, the Opens consist of limited planes of colour, broken up by minimally rendered lines in loosely rectangular configurations.
