Frank Stella's work made the cover of Artforum three times between 1966 and 1970, thanks to the insights of his friend Michael Fried, who characterized Stella’s ‘deductive structure’ as a key element of modernist painting, acting as a linchpin of artistic innovation.
Stella's influence can be traced to how his thick-rimmed glasses, mustache, and cigar invoked comparisons to Groucho Marx, illustrating how he blended the realms of art and popular culture seamlessly, while his dynamic painting styles challenged traditional modernism.
