Studied under William Merritt Chase at the Art Students League in New York. Stella’s work crosses over many genres and movements including Modernism, Futurism, and Social Realism. His association with Avant Garde artists Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp catapulted him from illustrator to an American Modernist.

His subject matter is primarily New York bridges and industrial areas, seen from atypical points of view. Our painting, “Smoke Stacks” was featured in a retrospective of Stella’s work at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York City in 1994.
