Description

"This exhibition catalogue brings together the work of celebrated American artists Clyfford Still (1904--1980) and Mark Bradford (born 1961). Bradford, who has long been fascinated by Still's use of black as a signature component of his abstract imagery, has chosen to read Still's relationship with the color as an open-minded invitation to dialogue. Including reproductions of twenty-five paintings by Still and a group of works Bradford created specifically for the exhibition, ... [t]aken together, the exhibition and book provide the opportunity to reconsider Still's paintings and the historical moment that brought about both Abstract Expressionism and the Civil Rights movement in the company of one of today's most admired artists."--Albright-Knox Art Gallery website.
