Employing an interdisciplinary approach, this book breaks new
ground by considering how Robert Motherwell's abstract
expressionist art is indebted to Alfred North Whitehead's highly
original process metaphysics. Motherwell first encountered
Whitehead and his work as a philosophy graduate student at Harvard
University, and he continued to espouse Whitehead's processist
theories as germane to his art throughout his life. This book
examines how Whitehead's process philosophy-inspired by quantum
theory and focusing on the ongoing ingenuity of dynamic forces of
energy rather than traditional views of inert substances-set the
stage for Motherwell's future art. This book will be of interest to
scholars in twentieth-century modern art, philosophy of art and
aesthetics, and art history.
