On the wall beside the Donald Judd work Madeleine examined in yesterday's post, our art museum displays a painting by one of my favorite contemporary artists, Frank Stella. This is an example of the striking style from his earlier career, sometimes known as the protractor series.
Every time I walk past this I think of iconic Mickey Mouse ears. It draws me back to the days of the Mickey Mouse Club. Stella is 78, a bit old for that, but still that shape, the black outline. It makes me wonder.

A nit better than Disney me thinks.
ReplyDeleteYup I can see it Bob :) Thanks for the link to his work, amazing portfolio of colours and shapes.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely see that!
ReplyDeleteI just see the colours, but that's me.
ReplyDeleteI love his work too! Nice one.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. I have seen Stella paintings many times, but this is the best I can remember.
