“Early in the 1940s, there appeared in San Francisco a mysterious man in a dark coat. This man was tall and majestic with unforgettable eyes, mesmerizing eyes – the eyes of a fanatic, a saint, or an artist. ” —Susan Landauer

Clyfford Still was born on November 30, 1904 (d. June 23, 1980), and apparently cut quite a figure in 1940s San Francisco. Inextricably identified with the American West (no small part of the reason Denver was named in 2004 to be the home of the Clyfford Still Museum), and with an artistic aura second only to Jackson Pollock, Still was a foundational member of the Abstract Expressionist movement, and an intensely private person. Courtesy of the Clyfford Still Museum, here is a clip from the Emmy-nominated documentary STILL, produced in 2011 to mark the opening of the museum, by A Bar K Productions.
