Daily realism paintings by Gerard Boersma: robert motherwell

Elegy To The Spanish Republic
painting of woman enjoying painting by Robert Motherwell

G. Boersma
acrylic on masonite
8" x 8" or 20 x 20 cm
2018

SOLD

Motherwell intended his Elegies to the Spanish Republic (over 100 paintings, completed between 1948 and 1967) as a "lamentation or funeral song" after the Spanish Civil War.

His recurring motif here is a rough black oval, repeated in varying sizes and degrees of compression and distortion. Instead of appearing as holes leading into a deeper space, these light-absorbent blots stand out against a ground of relatively even, predominantly white upright rectangles.

They have various associations, but Motherwell himself related them to the display of the dead bull's testicles in the Spanish bullfighting ring.
