  • The titles of the Paper Reliefs name sites - cities, settlements, districts, and shtetls - in Poland and the Soviet Union where wooden synagogues, dating to the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, were destroyed during the Holocaust. The synagogues in question were highly complex carpentered structures, with intricate geometric patterns. - Richard Axsom and Leah Kolb p. 176

    • Artist Biography

      Frank Stella

      American • 1936 - N/A

      One of the most important living artists, Frank Stella is recognized as the most significant painter that transitioned from Abstract Expressionism to Minimalism. He believes that the painting should be the central object of interest rather than represenative of some subject outside of the work. Stella experimented with relief and created sculptural pieces with prominent properties of collage included. Rejecting the normalities of Minimalism, the artist transformed his style in a way that inspired those who had lost hope for the practice. Stella lives in Malden, Massachusetts and is based in New York and Rock Tavern, New York.
