Frank Stella: A Retrospective

[@jimmyneutron4329]

Kudos to Master Stella, It's so hard to see an abstract artist that is actually a master and not a phony; amazing job

[@lorihaselrick329]

My husband worked at Tyler Graphics back in the day, maybe ‘82. One day I went to pick him up from work (we only had one car) and there was Frank’s Ferrari, just sitting there unlocked. Well, I thought, “what could it hurt? Just for a minute?” No sooner was I sitting down -haha, next to a pile of $ -than here came Frank and Ken Tyler (fortunately) laughing at my chutzpah. Frank told me he loved my car which was a Civic, but turned down my offer of a trade. A kind man, a gentleman, and yes, a towering artist who will be greatly missed by one recent art school grad turned old artist lady.

Frank Stella looks like a retired assembly-line worker, but that's not a bad thing at all.

Anyone know what happened this his finger?

[@joanaffleck7880]

I wished I was able to meet him when I was a student visiting New York in 1970.

Stella made some good paintings early in his career, but then descended into rote decoration... for 50 years now.

True. It doesn't suit the video

Michael Johnson: ...not as much as your opinion.

[@KpxUrz5745]

I am quite familiar with Stella's work, and do not actually consider him to be an artist. There many reasons, but just a few are: he cannot draw, which really is paramount; he cannot handle or modulate paint, simply fills in flat colors like a child's coloring book; and his color sense is nonexistent; his sense of composition is quite unsophisticated and robotic, artificially contrived and formulaic; there is no actual "content" to his work. And the long list goes on... Bottom line: his entire output is uncreatively contrived to quickly fill large square footages of canvas, for a purely commercial purpose. Some can drink the Koolaid, but not me.

What a brain-dead take.

"Quite familiar " but can't dig an inch under the surface lol

[@KpxUrz5745]

@@chancetaylor6763 I already listed several of his deficits. I could go on. As I say, he is a maker of corporate decorations, not an artist.
