Abstract

This study investigated spatial expressions in Frank Stella’s Abstract arts. To achieve this, we divided Stella’s works into three stages and selected Morrow Castle, Mogielnica and Hudson River Valley series as representative works in each stage, which were then analyzed in terms of regulated patterns, techniques and materials of expression. The major findings were: the Abstract arts of Stella contained the expression of space; Stella expressed his spatial attitudes through the innovation of patterns, techniques and materials, and created his own space in his works; and Stella made Abstract art a more complete notion by producing a series of art works in the period from 1960-2002. Stella’s works were inseparable with his spatial attitudes, and completely denied the idea in 1960s that Abstract art and Minimalism must be flat and resolved the paradox of Greenberg (1909).
