3 features of Motherwell’s brand:
1. identity communicating violence 2. storytelling for a world gone wrong 3. what we need when brands fade and stories end
‘ the deepest discoveries have to do with the artist’s materials ’ Robert Motherwell
let the materials tell the story: his paper is torn; paint is splattered, andcolours are stained
the good reporter: plain, truthful events; don’t take sides, or judge the good brand maker: clear on what’s in and what’s out of the brand
‘‘ art is a form of action ... one enters the studio as an arena ’’ Robert Motherwell
His Je t’aime series (a love cry): one message expressing the two extremes of finding and losing love
but some of his colours have faded and the wars of his generation have been displaced by our wars.
So, he shows us what we need when wars end and brands fade
