In this catalogue of retrospective exhibition of Motherwell's work, Frank O'Hara examines the development of the artist's style during twenty-five years of activity. Although deeply concerned with subject, Motherwell has always expressed his content in completely abstract terms. His style ranges from the sensuous delicacy of collage to the austere monumentality of such works as the "Elegy to the Spanish Republic" series. 96 pp.; 102 illus.
