Quote"What could be more interesting, or in the end, more ecstatic, than in those rare moments when you see another person look at something you've made, and realize that they got it exactly, that your heart jumped to their heart with nothing in between."

Interesting Robert Motherwell didn't seemed to be destined to become an artist. Motherwell received his Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from Stanford University in 1937 before completing one year of a philosophy Ph.D. at Harvard before shifting fields to art and art history under Meyer Schapiro at Columbia University.

Robert Motherwell was a member of the editoral board of VVV, a journal devoted to the dissemination of Surrealism. Only three issues of this magazine were ever published.
