Clyfford Still (American, 1904-1980). PH 77, 1937. Oil on canvas. 43 x 56 in.
Clyfford Still (1904-1980) was a leader of Abstract Expressionism in twentieth-century America. In 1979, he was the subject of a major retrospective at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the largest exhibition that the world-renowned institution ever granted a living artist. This Summer, an intimate show at the Denver Art Museum displays 13 works that were sealed in Still's estate after his death. They're a delectable prelude to the inauguration of a brand new museum, named after the artist, that will be the DAM's next-door neighbor when the building opens in 2010.
