Frank Stella first studied art at the Phillips Academy, Andover. He continued his study at Princeton University. When Stella entered the art scene, many young American artists were struggling with the legacy of abstract expressionism, which had set the standard for avant-garde art since the late 1940s. Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, and others had established a visual vocabulary of abstract, energetic self-expression. Although he was attracted at first by the physicality of abstract expressionism, Stella was searching for a new way to approach the canvas. The repetition, flatness, and unemotional restraint of Jasper Johns' flag and target paintings provided inspiration.
