Transcending Boundaries: A Study on Frank Stella’s Artistic Journey from Flatness to Three-Dimensionality

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the renowned artist Frank Stella's works with focus on his artistic trajectory from the 1950s to the 1980s. By providing a detailed analysis of his works and their theoretical underpinnings, the purpose of this study is to investigate how Stella's artistic practice disrupts traditional notions of painting and engages with the concept of space. Through Stella's artistic journey, the paper argues for his innovative role in redefining painting and highlights his journey from the limitations of flatness to the realm of three-dimensional space. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to a deeper understanding of Stella's artistic evolution during this critical period and its implications for the broader field of abstract art.
