| book description |

Employing an interdisciplinary approach, this book breaks new ground by considering how Robert Motherwellâ€™s abstract expressionist art is indebted to Alfred North Whiteheadâ€™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 Whiteheadâ€™s processist theories as germane to his art throughout his life. This book examines how Whiteheadâ€™s process philosophyâ€”inspired by quantum theory and focusing on the ongoing ingenuity of dynamic forces of energy rather than traditional views of inert substancesâ€”set the stage for Motherwellâ€™s future art. This book will be of interest to scholars in twentieth-century modern art, philosophy of art and aesthetics, and art history.
