Work Description:
|
This black and white copy print depicts an installation view of the exhibition “Paintings by Clyfford Still” at the San Francisco Museum of Art in California. PH-934 (1936, lost) occupies the front-facing partition on the far left, followed clockwise by PH-932 (1936-37), PH-351 (1940), PH-209 (1936), PH-211 (1936), PH-938 (1937), PH-344 (1937), and PH-298 (1942). In the background, Still’s eldest daughter, Diane, appears with an unidentified viewer, while his first wife, Lillian, sits on a bench nearby. On view March 2 through March 21, 1943, the retrospective featured a selection of figurative and abstract paintings that spanned the early years of Still’s career. According to the museum’s accession files, the artist submitted thirty-two paintings in total: ten “portraits and landscapes” and twenty-two “less realistic pictures”, although not all of the artworks were shown. The absence of detailed documentation complicates the act of determining which specific artworks were ultimately displayed; however, these photographs serve as visual records that confirm the majority of the paintings presented in Still’s first significant one-person exhibition.
