USA Artists Episode 05 - The New Abstraction-Frank Stella + Larry Poons

[@jhb61249]

Cigar and cigarette smoking will rot your teeth. Street fights can cause loss of body parts. Stella's process is much as an architect's and other designer types. He was a smart young dude. I was in the waiting area of the Seattle Airport in 1990. There was a huge Stella sitting out on a space divider partition. I stood there amazed. Almost missed my flight home! I love Larry's late work.

Fantastic historical documentary film presenting rare vintage interviews with Frank Stella and Larry Poons. This is a must-see for anyone interested in Modern Art, especially painters and curators.

two geniuses.

Poons has become a great teacher at Art Students’ League. He’s brilliant at helping you find your own process.

Love these interviews! Great subjects and work. But I gotta’ say Stella’s missing teeth shocked me more than his missing fingers.

[@roderickkiracofe2033]

yes, that was wild to see.hopefully he got dentures or implants at some point.

[@paulinebuckles2310]

The way he speaks is much like a stream of consciousness I mean like he just keeps going...

[@robanderson1470]

Awesome - Stella talks just like any busy New York tradesmen, emotion? No just do do that’s the emotion, what a cool guy, what year is this?

[@CodyCarvel]

I think it’s 1967

Imagine a Princeton graduate missing that many teeth today.
