Magazine Art, March, 1948

Clyfford Still, who was born in Grandin, North Dakota, in 1904, now lives in San Francisco. He has studied at the Art Students League in New York and taught at Washington State College and the California School of Fine Arts. His paintings depend upon color movement and the contrasts of brilliant yellows, oranges and whites against blacks and greens. Still feels that his fluid, often flame-like vertical shapes have been influenced by the flatness of the Dakota plains; they are living in forms springing from the ground. In New York, his work may be seen at the Parsons Gallery.


Two oils done in 1946, 36 x 24" (left), and 36 x 25" (below). They are owned by the artist, who has given them no titles.
