 Frank Stella
Stella was a friend of two of the most significant figures in that field, Carl Andre and Donald Judd.
From 1960 he began to produce paintings in aluminum and copper paint which, in their presentation of regular lines of colour separated by pinstripes, are similar to his fl paintings.
Stella has gone on to produce a number of large works for public spaces, and the three-dimensionality of his work has led to him being commissioned to produce architecture, including a bandshell for the city of Miami, Florida.

 ART OF THE 70'S: Stella
Frank Stella first became known in the early sixties for severely reductionist works that emphasized the concept as paintings as sculptural objects.
Stella moved from his earlier emphasis on severe geometric compositions to curvilinear shapes and brighter colors, eventually, in the eighties, making gestural paintings that referenced the heyday of Abstract-Expressionism.
Stella's print for the Homage to Picasso portfolio is more referential of Stella's experimentation in repetitive geometric patterns, using bright colors.

 Frank Stella at the Sackler Museum, Harvard University Art in America - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
In "Frank Stella 1958," curators Harry Cooper and Megan R. Luke examine the paintings and assemblages Frank Stella produced in the months after he graduated from Princeton in 1958.
Stella had a marked preference for horizontal bands in 1958, and a taste for patterns-of the kind found on bedspreads--that stress the plane.
As in Johns's Flag and so many other of Stella's paintings of '58, a dynamic relationship is established in Zara between a main element and the painting's constituent bands, all arranged parallel to the vertical and/or horizontal edges (the almost entirely fl Yugatan and Delta, exceptionally, have diagonal stripes).

Stella also introduced curves into his works, marking the beginning of the Protractor series.
Harran II evinces the great vaulting compositions and lyrically decorative patterns that are the leitmotif of the series, which is based on the semicircular drafting instrument used for measuring and constructing angles.
Through the device of the protractor and the use of almost psychedelic color—a combination of acrylic and fluorescent pigments—Stella brought abstraction and decorative pattern painting into congruence in a manner that challenged the conventions of both traditions.

Throughout his career, Frank Stella has been an innovator in both painting and printmaking.
There he continued the serial spare geometry of his paintings, often basing his prints on those paintings, while confronting a new set of challenges in terms of scale, ink, and paper choice.
Stella's prints also afforded him the opportunity to rework certain concepts, as in the 1973 Double Gray Scramble, part of a brief but fruitful foray into screenprint, which combined earlier images of concentric squares in either gray tones or color values.
