“You have bits of canvas that are unpainted and you have these thick stretcher bars. So you see that a painting is an object; that it's not a window into something - you're not looking at a landscape, you're not looking at a portrait, but you're looking at a painting. It's basically: A painting is a painting is a painting. And it's what Frank Stella said famously: What you see is what you see.” SaidBitsObjectsPaintingWindowBarsLandscapeThickFrankCanvasPortraitsStella Author:Frank Stella
“Once I really started to understand Frank Stella's work and follow it, there's a certain type of invention and playfulness and extreme rigor with which he kept going forward.” CertainTypeExtremesInventionFrankRigorPlayfulnessStella Author:Frank Stella
