The artwork, titled “Je t’aime No.2” by Robert Motherwell, was created in 1955 and is a part of the Abstract Expressionism movement. It belongs to the genre of abstract art.
In this evocative piece, the artwork features a dominant color scheme of warm hues with vibrant orange and deep red creating the frame or borders. At the center, a chaotic interplay of textures and shades of oranges, ochres, and whites forms the backdrop, with the bold, cursive script “Je t’aime” prominently inscribed in black. The text exudes an emotional intensity, characteristic of the Abstract Expressionist movement, and the rough, gestural brushstrokes convey a sense of spontaneity and raw emotion. The contrasts between the thick, dark lines of the text and the more subtle, layered background imbue the piece with dynamic energy and depth, inviting contemplation and introspection.
