STILL: A Documentary Preview

An original documentary nominated for three Emmy Awards, "STILL" tells the story of Clyfford Still’s remarkable life and his indelible contributions to American art. The full feature is available online via shop.clyffordstillmuseum.org.
Though not as well known as his contemporaries Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, Still was one of the leaders of the Abstract Expressionist movement and deliberately turned his back on the art establishment at the height of his career. Through interviews with leading art and social historians, contemporary artists, and former students, the documentary reveals, for the first time, the detailed and compelling story of Still’s life, the evolution of his work, and the reasons for his prominent and permanent place in American art. Produced by A bar K Productions, with production and Post Production by Milkhaus LLC.

Maude Sutton,Clyfford’s art teacher at Spokane University, would only work with him if it were one on one. Lessons were done in the corner of the classroom she taught in. She later stated that he was a difficult student.

Nothing great comes "with remarkable ease" -- and Clifford Still is no exception.

Thank you. This is wonderful!

You really should have interviewed JOSEPH MARIONI for this documentary. He was one of the very few that Still actually created a dialogue with that he still has the letters and even a customized painting that none of you probably know about. He was very special to Marioni as Marioni was special to him. The Still museum SHOULD put an exhibition together pairing Marioni with Still. He actually walked through the MET museum with Still after it was hung.

The most overrated of the modern artists.
