I never wanted color to be color.
I never wanted textured to be texture,
or images to become shapes.
I wanted them all to fuse into a living spirit.

The Clyfford Still Museum is the newest addition to Denver's burgeoning Cultural Arts District and is located adjacent to the Denver Art Museum in the city's Civic Center Cultural Complex. The museum opened in November 2011 and now allows visitors the unique experience to understand the legacy of Clyfford Still, an artist whose life has been shrouded in mystery and the bulk of whose work has been hidden from public view for more than 30 years. Still was among the first generation of Abstract Expressionist artists who developed a new and powerful approach to painting in the years immediately following World War II. The Still Museum collection, which represents nearly 94 percent of the artist's lifetime output, includes approximately 2,400 works created between 1920 and 1980.

STILL tells the story of Clyfford Still's remarkable life and his indelible contributions to American art. Through interviews with leading art and social historians, contemporary artists and former students, in addition to location footage shot in New York, Maryland, San Francisco and the Pacific Northwest, the documentary will reveal, for the first time, the detailed and compelling story of his life, the evolution of his work and the reasons for his prominent and permanent place in American art. Join film directors Amie Knox and Chad Herschberger for a discussion following the screening.

Pizza, beer and wine will be provided. This is a joint event with Clyfford Still Museum's 1944 Society.
