The Colbert Report

Stella on OnPoint


Frank Stella interview

"The great American painter, print-maker and sculptor, Frank Stella’s work has gone the reverse of the great arc of American art.

American painters began with lush, majestic landscapes and moved slowly to the abstract. Frank Stella began with the most severe, minimalist abstract paintings and has slowly moved lush.

From flat triangles and squares to flamboyant explosions of color and form. The artist who revered Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns — and Caravaggio.

This hour On Point: a conversation with art great Frank Stella, on the edge of art."
