Work Description:
This black and white photograph depicts an installation view of the exhibition “Paintings by Clyfford Still” at the San Francisco Museum of Art in California. PH-96 (1941, lost), PH-342 (1937), PH-748 (1938, lost), PH-733 (1940, destroyed), PH-933 (1929, destroyed), PH-936 (1939, lost), PH-623 (1929-30), PH-554 (1942), and PH-1938, lost) line the wall from left to right. Labels positioned beneath each painting correspond with the numbered entries from the typewritten catalog of the exhibition. 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.
