Pendant ce temps, chez Frank Stella
La vie entière1960s
Travels in the Middle East
He visits circular-plan cities in the Middle East and is especially intrigued by the arches and decorative patterns he sees in the architecture and art of Iran; these cities will later give their names to works of the Protractor series.
1969
End of his marriage to Barbara Rose
His marriage to the art historian Barbara Rose, begun in 1961, ends; they had two children, Rachel and Michael.
1969
Logo for the Metropolitan Museum's centennial
Commissioned to create a logo for the centennial of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; medals bearing the design are issued to mark the occasion.
1970
Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art in New York presents a retrospective of Stella's work, making him the youngest artist to receive one.
1970
Boycott of the American Pavilion in Venice
Invited to the 35th Venice Biennale, Stella joins a boycott by artists opposed to the US wars in Vietnam and Cambodia and withdraws his works from display at the American Pavilion.
1970s
Introduces relief: “maximalist” painting
He brings relief into his work and calls such painting “maximalist” for its sculptural qualities; in the Eccentric Polygon series the shaped canvases take on still less regular forms and collage elements appear, such as pieces of canvas glued to plywood, and aluminum then becomes the main support of his paintings.
