Presentation
Born in 1936 in Malden, Massachusetts, Frank Stella now lives in New York. A painter considered the precursor of Minimalism, he is one of the main exponents of Op Art and the shaped canvas. After studying art at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and history at Princeton University, he was influenced by the abstract expressionism of Pollock and Kline. Only later did he renounce the expressive use of paint and reject the lyricism of this movement. He worked on oppositions between shapes and colors, and was the inventor of “cut-out canvases”. This led him to break the boundaries of classical geometry, and his paintings evolved into veritable sculptures from the 1980s onwards.
