Frank Stella ( b. 1936 ) is an American painter, sculptor and printmaker noted for his work in the areas of Minimalism and Post-Painterly Abstraction. Working since the 1950's, Stella has created a Modernist style Abstraction and singular creative voice that is unique unto himself. He is heralded for creating Abstract paintings that bear no pictorial illusions of psychological or metaphysical references in Twentieth Century Art. Artworks by Stella are included in the collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums.
In the summer of 1967 Stella taught a university workshop in Canada. His time there inspired a series of paintings named for places in the Canadian province titled the " Newfoundland Series ". In this series created from 1967-71, their titles referring to old villages and a bay located on the west coast of Newfoundland including Channel-Port Aux Basques, a town in the extreme southwestern tip of Newfoundland.
Stella has already been working on a series of paintings on shaped ( non rectangular ) canvases with designs based on patterns made with protractors. The Newfoundland Series continued to explore some of the same patterns, but within a rectangles or square format. Paintings from this series stand out as some of the most iconic and important artworks of his oeuvre.
