His videos are informative and he really examines the works as a artist would. He in in fact a artist himself. Check his videos out.❤

  Mr. “what you see is what you see” I still think about that quote 20 years later. Thank you Stella for all your life’s work. Always inspiring, from the 50s stripe paintings til his last 3D works. I didn’t like neon color in art until I saw a large assemblage painting of his from the early 80s that was up at the Centré Pompidou. There was a hot pink cone graphic sticking off the corner of the work, that was odd, almost offensive that it burned into my memory 20 years ago.

  Good video. The price of living a long life are all the obituaries you have to read. At Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art the Temporary Space since renamed after David Geffen, during their inaugural show back in about 1985 had a Stella black painting hung at the end of a long passage. Brilliant combination of curating, hanging and art (obviously) as you approached it the glossy black paint would reflect light and appear lighter than the matte 'white' lines. Then as you got near it the reflection would vanish and it appeared as Stella had painted it. This takes three 'good eyes' for this to happen. First, Stella making the painting, then some smart curator at MOCA, and then sharp eyed art lovers. If you want a Stella, get a square canvas, gesso it, leaving it matte. Then with a ruler and a pencil outline the black stripes. Then using gloss black paint (use acrylic - easier to clean up any mistakes.) carefully follow the pencil lines. It's okay to leave some pencil showing along the edges.(Stella did.) On the back paint a big note "Fake." (I've got my art, art of friends -- some of whom are important, and some DIY 'fakery.' If you die and some greedy relative drives all the auction houses nuts trying to get one of them to 'authenticate' your fake Stella, it will cast doubt on everything else.)
