Abstract Expressionist: Robert Motherwell





The first two images are painting made from scratch on Photoshop to closely resemble two of Robert Motherwell's paintings. I used two tutorials to help me learn how to effectively use the brushes and then did my best to convey the same thing Motherwell did. His abstract paintings are comprised of lines and shapes. Then the next 4 photographs are pictures I took that resemble Motherwell's style. Motherwell did both color and black and white photography which I tried to represent in the photographs taken. I focused on capturing shapes and lines in the photographs and having strong colors. In multiples of his pictures he uses lines as the basic pattern with a shape in the middle of the lines, which I attempted to mirror in these photographs.
