Robert Motherwell was one such artist. Not only a seminal painter in the movement eventually referred to as abstract expressionism  he was also a primary theorist and spokesperson for the avant-garde art that developed mainly in New York City during the Second World War. Throughout the formative years of abstract expressionism  Motherwells presence as artist  editor of a series of pioneering books on modern art  lecturer  and teacher was influential in both illuminating and shaping the development of what he termed \"The Enterprise\" of abstract art.
