Because Robert Motherwell checked in as one of the last living Abstract Expressionists just prior to his death in July 1991, that passing seemed to signal the end of an era. The period in which Motherwell peaked was one shaped not only by him, but by Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Mark Rothko and many others of the same school - a movement characterized by a revolutionary attempt to upend the conventions of American painting, and of art that exhibited immediate influence by such global events as the Spanish Civil War and the launch of the Works Progress Administration.
