"Still,"
a visually stunning new film produced by Colorado-based A Bar K
Productions, tells the fascinating story of Clyfford Still, one of the
founding artists of the Abstract Expressionist movement, and defines his
indelible contributions to American art.
Though
not as well known as his contemporaries Jackson Pollock and Mark
Rothko, Still was heralded as perhaps the most original of the Abstract
Expressionists, yet deliberately turned his back on the art
establishment at the height of his career.
The
documentary reveals, for the first time, through interviews with
leading art and social historians, contemporary artists, and former
students, the compelling story of Still’s life, the evolution of his
work, and the impact he made.
His
extensive collection - over 800 paintings and 1500 works on paper, much
of which has never been viewed before, will be housed at the Clyfford Still Museum opening in Denver on Friday, Nov. 18.
Don’t miss this important documentary that reveals the life of an extraordinary and enigmatic artist and celebrates his work.
