Untitled, 1958 by Clyfford Still

Untitled, 1958 is a significant work by Clyfford Still, a leading figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement. Created using oil on canvas, this painting exemplifies Still's distinctive style characterized by bold, jagged forms and a dramatic use of color. Still's work is often noted for its emotional intensity and departure from traditional representation, contributing to the evolution of modern art in the mid-20th century. Born in 1904, Still was a contemporary of artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, yet he maintained a unique approach that emphasized the purity of abstraction. His insistence on the autonomy of his art led to a limited exhibition history during his lifetime, enhancing the mystique and impact of his oeuvre. Today, Still's paintings are celebrated for their pioneering role in the development of abstract art and their influence on subsequent generations of artists.
