Frank Stella: A Retrospective [Visit to The Modern]

Today I took the day to go to the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum. I went to go see the Frank Stella Exhibit. This exhibition presents Frank Stella's career to date, showcasing his prolific output from the mid-1950s to the present through approximately 100 works, including paintings, reliefs, maquettes, sculptures, and drawings.

I was thoroughly impressed and amazing at the many sculptors, painting and sketches that I have seen from this exhibit. From his detail, passion and philosophy of his artwork, Stella has allowed his wisdom and skill to fully show through his presentation. I love how he expresses how important it is to use the gift that you are given that marks your character to do your art work. It is one thing to create with many skills and techniques but it is more important to use skills and crafts that expresses yourself and I think that is very important to signify your work.

Stella has spent decades in mastering the art of painting, sculpture and various sketches and drawings. His work is large, minimal, and highly geometric and 3-dimensional. The energy of his work is at an ultimate high with his uses of vibrant colors and irregular polygons and shapes. Abstractions plays a major role in his work and is well appreciated through my eyes.
