Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts

Collaborations between writers and artists are often a source of intensely creative artistic expression. In this exhibition of fifty lithographs and etchings by Robert Motherwell and Jasper Johns, the viewer will enjoy the partnerships of the artist and writer, conveyed through the prints of two major twentieth-century masters.

Motherwell's works are based on poems by Rafael Alberti, and Johns' are collaborations with novelist and playwright Samuel Beckett. Both artists have played dominant roles in the development and maturation of twentieth-century contemporary art developing out of Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Minimalism.
