Motherwell/ Alberti
15 minutes, color

Narrated by the artist.

The text of Rafael Alberti's poetry cycle A La Pintura (To Painting) is the subject of Motherwell's venture into aquatints, produced at Tatyana Grosman's printmaking workshop. Alberti, the last member of the Garcia Lorca generation, is shown reading his poems in historic footage. The theme of Alberti's text is an homage to painting, and Motherwell's set of abstract "windows" delicately complements the poetry.
