comments
Among the collage elements in this
work is paper from a bag on which is
printed a reproduction of newspaper
pages and a red-and-white logo that
reads “Fish & Chips.” Motherwell used
the same kind of paper in five other
collages (see c601, c604, c622, c639,
and c644).

comments
The newspaper page in this collage is a
facsimile from a bag for fish and chips.
The same kind of wrapper was used
in five other collages (see c601, c604,
c620, c639, and c644). The sheet
music is from Mozart’s Eine kleine
deutsche Kantate (k. 619).
