Clyfford Still (1904 – 1980) was born in 1904 in Grandin, North Dakota. He became a leader in the first generation of Abstract Expressionists that emerged after World War II. Still's contemporaries included Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Philip Guston. Still attended Spokane University, Washington for a year in 1926 and again from 1931 to 1933. After graduation, he taught at Washington State College in Pullman until 1941…

Clyfford Still (American, 1904–1980) 1947-H No. 1 (PH-265), 1947 Oil on canvas; 92 x 58 in. Arshile Gorky, Clyfford Still, Contemporary Art Artists, Hirshhorn Museum, Art 2023, Willem De Kooning, Action Painting, Jackson Pollock, Art Academy

Although Still was born in the same year as Arshile Gorky and Willem de Kooning, he arrived at a mature—and for him definitive—style somewhat earlier than his contemporaries. This painting can thus be seen as prescient but also conclusive: it shows Still as the master of his newly invented formal vocabulary, and it couldwell be argued that this work would remain unsurpassed for the remainder of his long career
