Key takeaway No fue hasta 1958 que Motherwell visitó España con su esposa Helen Frankenthaler, y allí contempló las Pinturas negras de Goya en el Prado, un pintor que era decisivo para él.
Robert Motherwell se inspiró en España a comienzos de los años cuarenta, aunque no la conocía personalmente en ese momento. Tras relacionarse con Roberto Matta y Wolfgang Paalen en México, creó una pintura geométrica titulada Spanish picture with window, que puede considerarse un homenaje al país. La imagen de España que Motherwell tenía en mente se basaba en rasgos trágicos y románticos, con una poderosa presencia de noche y sangre.
