Clyfford Still at Hirshhorn

(Musical Background: Schubert, Symphony No. 5 in B flat major, D. 485 II. Andante con moto, Philharmonia Cassovia)

Clyfford Still is often considered on the same page with Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. Actually he is different. Look a bit closer at his paintings: you'll see there shapes that have a figurative meaning.
