Note du spécialiste

“Stella is a revolutionary: fearless, persistent, stubborn, but always original. While his art is inspired by—and even embraces—influences from literature, music, science, history, and current events, his project is singular and herculean: the interrogation and reinvention of painting for the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.”

M. Price and A. Weinberg, “Foreword,” Frank Stella: A Retrospective, exh. cat. Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 2015, p. vii.
