Frank Stella
Frank Stella, born on May 12, 1936, in Malden, Massachusetts, is an influential American artist renowned for his contributions to abstract and minimalist art. Stella gained recognition in the late 1950s for his "Black Paintings," which helped pave the way for Minimalism by emphasizing form and composition over representational content.
