comments
The technique of gestural black brushstrokes over automatist line drawing in
sanguine that Motherwell uses in this
and related works (w700–w710)
informed a number of prints done
two years later: Mirror, Mirror 1A,
Calligraphy I, and the Beau Geste series
(Engberg and Banach 2003, nos. 472,
473, 490, and 480–87).
