What did Stella change when he no longer wanted to use a traditional canvas?
1 Answer

When he no longer wanted to use a traditional canvas, Stella changed the shape of his artwork. Instead of starting with a rectangular piece of canvas, he cut it into unique geometric shapes. Eventually, he began creating collages on canvas, making it possible for his works to have a three-dimensional look. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Frank Stella art.
