Work Description:
|
This typed manuscript documents the content of a wall label that was mounted near the entrance to the exhibition “Paintings by Clyfford Still” at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. The label, titled "COMMENTS", presented quotations by notable artists and critics. Statements by an anonymous viewer, Mark Rothko, Howard DeVree, Alfred Frankenstein, Andre Breton, Clement Greenberg, and Robert Motherwell demonstrate various dissenting opinions regarding the perception of Still's paintings. On view July 2 through August 3, 1947, the one-person exhibition featured thirteen artworks, six of which were completed during Still’s teaching term at the California School of Fine Arts. The presentation of these radical abstractions proved to be highly influential among other artists working in the Bay Area at the time.
