Which art movement is Stella associated with?

  • Surrealism

  • Expressionism

  • Post-Impressionism

  • Post-painterly abstraction

Answer

Post-painterly abstraction, a prominent art movement that Stella is associated with, emerged in the 1960s as an extension of abstract expressionism. It rejected the painterly qualities of abstract expressionism, emphasizing flatness, geometry, and the literalness of the canvas as an object. Stella's work, with its bold and simple shapes arranged in symmetrical compositions, exemplified the key principles of post-painterly abstraction.
