Answer

Stella's signature hexagonal canvases set him apart from his contemporaries. This unique shape allowed Stella to explore geometric abstraction and create visually striking compositions. He was drawn to the hexagon for its inherent symmetry and its ability to create dynamic spatial relationships within the frame. Stella's use of the hexagon pushed the boundaries of traditional canvas formats and expanded the possibilities of abstract painting.
