Featuring Clyfford Still, David Anfam, Neal Benezra

Jackson Pollock once said of Clyfford Still, “he makes the rest of us look academic,” Mark Rothko acknowledged him as a “myth-maker” and Clement Greenberg called him “an independent genius.” With a mosaic of archival material, found footage and audio recorded by the artist, "Lifeline" paints a picture of the abstract expressionist icon, his creative journey, and the price of independence.
