Blog #2

Here is a work by Frank Stella titled "Flin Flon"-from 1970. Frank Stella is relevant to printmaking and design in regards to the 60's and forward.


I do not know that Stella and Rauschenberg are necessarily connected, but I do know that some of their work gets mentioned together at times. Also, they both featured significant collaborations with Merce Cunningham (an experimental performance artist/dancer). I suppose maybe that was the connection I made in thinking I should mention any of this...

Here is an example of Stella's more recent work:
Frank Stella, detail, "Severinda," mixed media on Fiberglas, 1995


It is easy to see how much his work has evolved throughout time. I find it pretty amazing.
