Clyfford Still ( 1904 - 1980 ) was among the first generation of Abstract Expressionists who developed a new powerful approach to painting immediately following WWII. His contemporaries included Franz Kline, Willem De Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Described by many as the most anti - traditional of the Abstract Expressionists. The work is credited for laying the groundwork for the movement.

Each of the 75 paintings in the exhibition is beautifully reproduced here as a full page or fold out color plate and is fully documented. many other major works by Still are illustrated in black & white. Notes by the artist, selected letters from his files, and a biographical outline are accompanied by documentary photographs.

The book contains a preface by Philippe De Montebello, director of The Metropolitan Museum, and an enlightening introduction by the eminent art critic Katharine Kuh. John P. O'Neill, editor of this volume, general manager of publications and editor in chief at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
