speciaal voor Bas : een klassieker /de canon / jeweettoch : CLYFFORD STILL 

Clyfford Still was something of a maverick in the art world. In many cases, he disdained or was infuriated by anyone who tried to interpret his work, including art critics, art historians, patrons, and museum curators. His attitude about art and artmaking was romantic and passionate, and he did not believe that most people understood or properly appreciated his work. Still wanted his paintings to be under his own personal control, and did not like them separated from one another or exhibited with other artists' work. He felt that his paintings could only be understood as part of a whole, with the whole being the evolution of his entire life's work. This obsession with maintaining absolute control resulted in his rejection of offers to buy his paintings, refusing awards and honors, and declining invitations to exhibit both in individual and group shows.Currently, 750 oil paintings and more than 13,000 works on paper by Clyfford Still are in storage in Maryland, awaiting an individual or institution to fulfill the terms of his will. It stipulated that they be installed in a museum built to his specifications and exhibited under his terms, never to be "sold, given, or exchanged."
