Franz-Joachim Verspohl Book order

Since 1998, artist Frank Stella has studied the dramas, novellas, and art theoretical writing of Heinrich von Kleist. This book presents some of the more than 90 paintings, painted reliefs, and sculptures that Stella produced in response to and in an attempt to better understand von Kleist's work.

This collection of Frank Stella's lectures and talks, selected by the artist himself, reflects his artistic theory of form. Like Paul Klee, Stella's thoughts on form and style begin with systematic study of line, color, and tonality. Required reading for any student of Minimalism.
