Stella was never ahead of Poons or anyone else. Frank Stella painted what was in his head for each day he worked as an artist. Everyone who works any kind of job does their best or gets through the day somehow getting whatever it is that needs taking care of. Artists are never in competition with anyone but themselves, and even that is an incredible challenge because the auto-critic is fierce and never ending and cruel and cutting; one must win over oneself in art.
This is the first in depth film on Larry Poons, ua-cam.com/video/LucX8sgxvX4/v-deo.html It took quite a great amount of effort and time to make this as with other in depth ART/new york programs on Bourgeois. Robert Longo, Chuck Close and many others. They all were appreciative and thankful and offered an art piece in return. Wonderful ! Larry never even send a thank you note or ever offered anything. CHEAP and arrogant.
Poons was a nut job in 1973 when I had a critique class with him at Cooper Union. I did like the drippy rivers of paint he was working on then..
