'''Clyfford Still''' (November 30, 1904 &ndash; June 23, 1980) was an American [[Painting|painter]], and one of the leading figures in the first generation of [[Abstract Expressionists]], who developed a new, powerful approach to painting in the years immediately following [[World War II]]. Still has been credited with laying the groundwork for the movement, as his shift from representational to abstract painting occurred between 1938 and 1942, earlier than his colleagues like [[Jackson Pollock]] and [[Mark Rothko]], who continued to paint in figurative-[[surrealist]] styles well into the 1940s.<ref name=CSM>{{cite web|title=The Artist|url=http://clyffordstillmuseum.org/clyfford-still/|website=Clyfford Still Museum|access-date=21 October 2014}}</ref>

==Biography==
Still was born in 1904 in [[Grandin, North Dakota]] and spent his childhood in [[Spokane, Washington]]<ref>{{Cite web |date=2009-04-19 |title=Master of abstract expressionism had Spokane, Pullman roots |url=https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/apr/19/still-life/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=Spokesman.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-08-11 |title=We the People: The Great Depression brought suffering to Spokane – but also – art |url=https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2024/aug/11/we-the-people-the-great-depression-brought-sufferi/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=Spokesman.com |language=en}}</ref> and [[Bow Island]] in southern [[Alberta, Canada]]. In 1925 he visited New York, briefly studying at the [[Art Students League]]. He attended [[Spokane University]] from 1926 to 1927 and returned in 1931 with a fellowship, graduating in 1933. That fall, he became a teaching fellow, then faculty member at Washington State College (now [[Washington State University]]), where he obtained his Master of Fine Arts degree in 1935 and taught until 1941.<ref>{{cite web|title=Clyfford Still|url=http://www.phillipscollection.org/research/american_art/bios/still-bio.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100122084928/http://www.phillipscollection.org/research/american_art/bios/still-bio.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 22, 2010|website=The Phillips Collection|access-date=21 October 2014}}</ref> He spent the summers of 1934 and 1935 at the Trask Foundation (now [[Yaddo]]) in [[Saratoga Springs]], New York.

In 1937, along with Washington State colleague Worth Griffin, Still co-founded the [[Nespelem (art)|Nespelem Art Colony]] that produced hundreds of portraits and landscapes depicting [[Colville Indian Reservation]] [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] life over the course of four summers.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.washingtonhistory.org/files/library/fall-2003-creighton.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2020-01-03 |archive-date=2016-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160629194522/http://www.washingtonhistory.org/files/library/fall-2003-creighton.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1941 Still relocated to the [[San Francisco Bay area]] where he worked in various war industries while pursuing painting. He had his first solo exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Art (now [[San Francisco Museum of Modern Art]]) in 1943. He taught at the Richmond Professional Institute (RPI), now [[Virginia Commonwealth University]], from 1943 to 1945, then went to New York City.

Mark Rothko, whom Still had met in California in 1943, introduced him to [[Peggy Guggenheim]], who gave him a solo exhibition at her gallery, [[The Art of This Century Gallery]], in early 1946. The following year Guggenheim closed her gallery and Still, along with Rothko and other Abstract Expressionists, joined the [[Betty Parsons]] gallery.

Still returned to San Francisco, where he became a highly influential professor at the [[California School of Fine Arts]] (now [[San Francisco Art Institute]]), teaching there from 1946 to 1950.<ref>''Clyfford Still,'' [[San Francisco Museum of Modern Art]], 1976, p.112</ref> He encouraged some of his students to open a gallery called Metart, which was short-lived but influential.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Cummings |first=Paul |title=A Dictionary of Contemporary American Artists |publisher=St Martin's Press |year=1966 |location=New York |pages=281}}</ref> In 1950, he moved to New York City, where he lived most of the decade <ref>[[Lawrence Gowing]], ed., Biographical Encyclopedia of Artists, v.4 (Facts on File, 2005): 654.</ref> during the height of Abstract Expressionism, but during his time in New York, he also became increasingly critical of the art world. In the early 1950s, Still severed ties with commercial galleries. In 1961 he moved to a 22-acre farm near [[Westminster, Maryland|Westminster]], [[Maryland]], removing himself further from the art world.<ref>Maryland SDAT listing for Still Farm property http://sdatcert3.resiusa.org/rp_rewrite/details.aspx?AccountNumber=07%20032161%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&County=07&SearchType=STREET{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} retrieved 4 April 2013</ref> Still used a barn on the property as a studio during the warm weather months. In 1966, Still and his second wife purchased a 4,300-square-foot house at 312 Church Street in [[New Windsor, Maryland]], about eight miles from their farm, where he lived until his death.<ref name="Unyielding Will">{{Citation|url=http://www.5280.com/magazine/2011/11/clyfford-still?page=0,4|title=Clyfford Still's Unyielding Will|access-date=30 March 2013|author= Van Dyke, Jeffrey|date=November 2011|publisher=[[5280]]}}</ref><ref>Maryland SDAT listing for Still New Windsor House http://sdatcert3.resiusa.org/rp_rewrite/details.aspx?AccountNumber=11%20011365%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&County=07&SearchType=STREET{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} retrieved 30 March 2013</ref><ref name="Hidden Still">{{Citation|url=http://www.artnews.com/2009/01/01/revealing-the-hidden-clyfford-still/|title=Revealing the Hidden Clyfford Still|access-date=30 March 2013|author= Hochfield, Sylvia|date= 1 January 2009|publisher=[[ARTnews]]}}</ref>

==Family life==
Still married Lillian August Battan ''circa'' 1930. They had two daughters, born in 1939 and 1942. The couple separated in the late 1940s and divorced in 1954. In 1957, Still married Patricia Alice Garske, who had been one of his students at [[Washington State University|Washington State]] and was sixteen years his junior.<ref name="Unyielding Will" />

==Paintings==
[[File:Still 1957 D1.jpg|thumb|Clyfford Still, ''1957-D No. 1'', 1957, oil on canvas, 113 × 159 in, [[Albright–Knox Art Gallery]], Buffalo, New York]]
Having developed his signature style in San Francisco between 1946 and 1950 while teaching at the California School of Fine Arts, Still is considered one of the foremost [[Color Field]] painters – his non-figurative paintings are non-objective, and largely concerned with juxtaposing different colors and surfaces in a variety of formations. Unlike [[Mark Rothko]] or [[Barnett Newman]], who organized their colors in a relatively simple way (Rothko in the form of nebulous rectangles, Newman in thin lines on vast fields of color), Still's arrangements are less regular. In fact, he was one of the few painters who combined practices of  [[Color field|Color Field]] paintings with that of Gestural, [[Action painting|Action Paintings]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Whiting|first=C.|title=Pop L.A.: Art and the City in the 1960s|publisher=University of California Press|year=2008|location=United Kingdom|pages=34|language=English}}</ref> His jagged flashes of color give the impression that one layer of color has been "torn" off the painting, revealing the colors underneath. Another point of departure with Newman and Rothko is the way the paint is laid on the canvas; while Rothko and Newman used fairly flat colors and relatively thin paint, Still uses a thick [[impasto]], causing subtle variety and shades that shimmer across the painting surfaces. His large mature works recall natural forms and natural phenomena at their most intense and mysterious; ancient stalagmites, caverns, foliage, seen both in darkness and in light lend poetic richness and depth to his work. By 1947, he had begun working in the format that he would intensify and refine throughout the rest of his career – a large-scale color field applied with palette knives.<ref>[http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/collections/collection-online/artwork/4008 Clyfford Still, ''1948'' (1948)] Guggenheim Collection.</ref> Among Still's well known paintings is ''1957-D No. 1,'' 1957 (right), which is mainly black and yellow with patches of white and a small amount of red. These four colors, and variations on them (purples, dark blues) are predominant in his work, although there is a tendency for his paintings to use darker shades.

==Exhibitions==
In 1943, Still's first solo show took place at the [[San Francisco Museum of Art]]. In 1947, Jermayne MacAgy, assistant director of the [[California Palace of the Legion of Honor]], gave him a solo show there. The artist then declined all public exhibitions from 1952 to 1959.<ref>[http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ArtistWorks?cgroupid=999999961&artistid=2001&page=1&sole=y&collab=y&attr=y&sort=default&tabview=bio Clyfford Still] Tate Collection.</ref> A first comprehensive Still retrospective took place at the [[Albright–Knox Art Gallery]], Buffalo, New York, in 1959. Later solo exhibitions of Still's paintings were presented by the [[Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia|Institute of Contemporary Art]] of the [[University of Pennsylvania]] in Philadelphia in 1963 and at the [[Marlborough-Gerson]] gallery, New York, in 1969 to 1970. In 1975, a permanent installation of a group of his works opened at the [[San Francisco Museum of Modern Art]].<ref name="Clyfford Still">[http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/collections/collection-online/show-full/bio/?artist_name=Clyfford%20Still&page=1&f=Name&cr=1 Clyfford Still] Guggenheim Collection.</ref> In 1979, New York's [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] organized the largest survey of Still's art to date and the largest presentation afforded by this institution to the work of a living artist.

==Awards==
Still received the Award of Merit for Painting in 1972 from the [[American Academy of Arts and Letters]], of which he became a member in 1978, and the Skowhegan Medal for Painting in 1975.<ref name="Clyfford Still"/>

==Estate and museum==
Still wrote a will in 1978 that left a portion of his work, along with his archives, to his wife Patricia and stated: "I give and bequeath all the remaining works of art executed by me in my collection to an American city that will agree to build or assign and maintain permanent quarters exclusively for these works of art and assure their physical survival with the explicit requirement that none of these works of art will be sold, given, or exchanged but are to be retained in the place described above exclusively assigned to them in perpetuity for exhibition and study."<ref name="Unyielding Will" /> After Still's death in 1980, the Still collection of approximately 2,400 works was sealed off completely from public and scholarly access for more than twenty years.

[[File:GlyffordStillMuseum1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Clyfford Still Museum, Denver, Colorado]]
In August 2004, the City of [[Denver]], Colorado announced it had been chosen by Patricia Still to receive the artworks contained within the Clyfford Still Estate (roughly 825 paintings on canvas and 1575 works on paper – drawings and limited-edition fine-art prints). [[The Clyfford Still Museum]], an independent nonprofit organization, opened under the directorship of Dean Sobel in November 2011. The museum also houses the complete Still archives of sketchbooks, journals, notebooks, the artist's library, and other archival materials, inherited upon Patricia Still's death in 2005.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Kino|first1=Carol|title=Abstract Expressionist Made Whole|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/20/arts/design/clyfford-still-museum-in-denver.html|access-date=21 October 2014|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=17 November 2011}}</ref>

In March 2011, a Maryland court with jurisdiction over Patricia Still's estate ruled that four of Still's works could be sold before they officially became part of the museum's collection.<ref name=ai-4stills>{{cite web|title=Court Greenlights Clyfford Still Museum's Creative Maneuver to Sell Off Four Paintings|url=http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/37342/court-greenlights-clyfford-still-museums-creative-maneuver-to-sell-off-four-paintings/|publisher=ARTINFO|date=28 March 2011}}</ref> In November 2011, Sotheby's in New York sold the four works; ''PH-351'' (1940) for US$1.2 million, ''1947-Y-No. 2'' (1947) for US$31.4 million, ''1949-A-No. 1'' (1949) for US$61.7 million and ''PH-1033'' (1976) for US$19.6 million.<ref name=wsj-4stills/> The proceeds from the sales, US$114 million, went to the Clyfford Still Museum "to support its endowment and collection-related expenses."<ref name=ai-4stills/><ref name=wsj-4stills/> In the decade prior to the sale, only 11 of Still's works came up at auction.<ref name=wsj-4stills>{{cite news |last=Crow |first=Kelly |title=Sotheby's Sells Group of Clyfford Still Paintings for $114 Million |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204224604577028531443041436 |newspaper=The Wall Street Journal |date=10 November 2011}}</ref> The Clyfford Still Museum opened on November 18, 2011.

In 2013, the Clyfford Still Museum Research Center was launched. Its aim is to explore the period of art and history in which the abstract painter worked. Plans include a fellowship program, cross-disciplinary scholarly publications, and research symposia.<ref>Pobric, Pac (October 30, 2013), [http://theartnewspaper.com/articles/Clyfford-Still-Museum-opens-research-centre-/30816 Clyfford Still Museum opens research centre] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131101150537/http://theartnewspaper.com/articles/Clyfford-Still-Museum-opens-research-centre-/30816 |date=2013-11-01 }} ''[[The Art Newspaper]]''.</ref>

==Quotes==

===From Still===

"I never wanted color to be color. I never wanted texture to be texture, or images to become shapes. I wanted them all to fuse together into a living spirit."

"It's intolerable to be stopped by a frame's edge."<ref>''Clyfford Still,'' [[San Francisco Museum of Modern Art]], 1976, p. 123</ref>

"I am not interested in illustrating my time. A man's 'time' limits him, it does not truly liberate him. Our age – it is one of science, of mechanism, of power and death. I see no point in adding to its mechanism of power and death. I see no point in adding to its mammoth arrogance the compliment of a graphic homage."<ref>''Clyfford Still'', [[San Francisco Museum of Modern Art]], 1976, p. 124</ref>

"How can we live and die and never know the difference?"
