Why is Frank Stella important?
1 Answer

Frank Stella is important because he was one of the central figures in postwar American art and influenced later artists as a proponent of minimalism and non-representational abstraction. Stella felt that paintings on canvas were objects in their own right, like sculptures. This led him to reject certain formal conventions, eschewing sketches and often using nontraditional materials, like house paint. His approach to art impacted the work of Clement Greenberg, Carl Andre, Kenneth Noland and many others. Find a collection of Frank Stella art on 1stDibs.
