Wall Painting with Stripes, 1944

Robert Motherwell

Painting of a bucolic scene—rolling hills and dense, spindly trees. In the distance on a hill, a group of figures in white robes ascends toward a stately home. In the foreground, at left, a robed figure exits an opening in an outdoor tomb-like wall, a la Christ on Easter morning. A nearby figure has fallen to the ground in awe as another bends to assist them.
