Entering Stella's Space, 2017
Oil on Wood
10"X10"
Frank Stella - May 12, 1936 -May 4, 2024
Inspiration lives on.
This is what I wrote when I made this painting:
To escape the real world, I took myself to see "Frank Stella: A Retrospective," at the de Young Museum last week. I remembered exactly where I was in my college library thumbing through "ArtForum" magazine when I first saw Stella's paintings which were catching everyone's eye at the time. Knocked my socks off. New rules. No rules. It was the 60s. Anything was possible. It was inspiring then. And it is inspiring now. It was just the blast of light I needed to give this dark time a little perspective. Never give up Hope.
