Philosophy Accessories

Frank Stella's philosophy, self-described as "what you see is what you see," reflects his belief that art shouldn't be representational and that its merit was in its actual form and not in any meaning that was assigned to it. He considered paintings on canvas to be objects in their own right, like sculptures, rather than representations. This led him to reject certain formal conventions, eschewing sketches and often using nontraditional materials, like house paint. Shop a range of Frank Stella art on 1stDibs.
