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. Proceeding clockwise from the far left, PH-935 (1938, lost), PH-619 (1930-31), and PH-980 (1938-39, destroyed) occupy the gallery wall. PH-937 (1940, lost) hangs on the front-facing wall in the background. In the foreground, Still’s eldest daughter, Diane, and first wife, Lillian, sit on a bench. PH-934 (1936, lost) appears behind the bench on the far right. 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.
