Clyfford Still (1904-1980) was a pioneering American abstract expressionist painter. Born in North Dakota, Still played a pivotal role in shaping the post-World War II art landscape. Known for his monumental canvases and unique approach to abstraction, Still’s works often featured jagged forms and intense colors. He was a key figure in the development of the Abstract Expressionist movement, alongside artists like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Still’s commitment to a deeply personal and emotive form of abstraction set him apart, and his legacy endures as a major influence on the trajectory of contemporary American art.
