Clyfford Still
Clyfford Still, born on November 30, 1904, in Grandin, North Dakota, was a pioneering American Abstract Expressionist painter. He studied at Spokane University and Washington State College. Still's early career involved teaching and painting in relative obscurity until his breakthrough in the 1940s. His work is characterized by large-scale canvases with thick, jagged strokes of vibrant colors, often exploring themes of existential struggle and transcendence. Notable works include "PH-1123" and "PH-401." Still's paintings are featured in major collections like the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He passed away on June 23, 1980, leaving a significant legacy in abstract art. Read more about Arts.
