Clyfford Still

Clyfford Still was an influential American abstract expressionist painter known for his powerful, large-scale works featuring bold, jagged edges and intense color fields. His art emphasizes emotion and spontaneity, often lacking recognizable subjects, which invites viewers to experience raw energy and complexity. Still's innovative style helped shape mid-20th-century American modern art, and he dedicated his career to exploring pure abstraction. His artworks are celebrated for their dramatic impact and are now housed primarily in the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, highlighting his importance as a pioneer in abstract expressionism.
