Frank Stella

Painting

One of the most well-regarded postwar American artists still working today, Frank Stella (b. 1936) moved to New York in 1958 after graduating from Princeton, where he majored in history and studied painting. With his first series, “Black Paintings” (1958–60) – in which parallel patterns in black house paint were separated by pinstripes of unpainted canvas – the artist radically departed from his Abstract Expressionist forebears, declared himself a practitioner of nonrepresentational painting (work that is detached from any emotional, intellectual or physical reality) and helped launch Minimalism.
