The images of this study relate to a selection of Stella’s Dartmouth Paintings, made during and near the time of Stella’s artist-in-residenceship at Dartmouth College in 1963: the connected V shapes of Dade City and Polk City, the eight-pointed stars of Plant City and Port Tampa City and the cross shapes of Haines City and Tampa (Lawrence Rubin, Frank Stella, Paintings 1958-1965: A Catalogue Raisonné, 1986, cat nos. 210-215).
Provenance
Frank Stella
American | B. 1936 D. 2024Frank Stella is recognized as the most significant painter that transitioned from Abstract Expressionism to Minimalism. He believed that the painting should be the central object of interest rather than represenative of some subject outside of the work. Stella experimented with relief and created sculptural pieces with prominent properties of collage included. Rejecting the normalities of Minimalism, the artist transformed his style in a way that inspired those who had lost hope for the practice.
