Clyfford Still Museum: Architectural Exuberance
The museum:
The museum encompasses a retrospective of the Artist's works, from sketches and cartoons to his distinctive oil paintings. The museum's bare, minimalist concrete infrastructure combined with an eyelet ceiling illuminates the raw texture of the paint with the Colorado sunlight.
The STILL Documentary: Interviews were thoughtfully chosen to impart an appreciation for the artist's work ethic and demonstrate the affect he had on others- whether they be confidantes or strangers. The documentary is an excellent ulterior backstory to the artist's career and provides further understanding of how his style developed and matured.
I guarantee you will develop an appreciation for the artist as well as an appreciation for the Abstract Expressionist movement after a visit to the museum.
