Oil on canvas, featuring abstract theme artwork. Signed and attr. Clyfford Still (American, 1904-1980), signature on lower right margin.23.5 x 16 in (59.7 x 40.6 cm). Clyfford Still is celebrated as one of the original innovators of abstract expressionism, primarily because he fused the two predominant painting styles of the radical postwar movement-gestural (championed by Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock) and color field (established by Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko). Originally born in North Dakota, Still began spending time in New York in the 1940s and subsequently exhibited with the two galleries that first championed abstract painting: Art of This Century and Betty Parsons. In 1951 Still famously cut ties with the commercial art world and many of his fellow artists, vowing to only exhibit his paintings in museums and institutions.
