The Times In Havana
Robert Motherwell
This work was started in 1979 and completed some time before being exhibited at the Harcus Krakow Gallery in May 1980. It was shown under the title Time Present and Time Past, which comes from the first line of T.S. Eliot's poem Burnt Norton of 1935, the first of his Four Quartets. The printed collage element, which has a newspaper motif, was torn from the same kind of fish and chips bag as the one used in Beside the Sea with Fish and Chips (C604) and other works. The painted out label within the black oval is from Mark, Fore & Strike, a sporting goods company.
