How does Frank Stella’s Agbatana III exemplify the objectives of Minimalist painting?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Frank Stella’s Agbatana III used shaped canvases and a distinctive outer profile to represent the Minimalist concept of the painting as an object rather than a field for pictorial allusions.
2. Stella also removed the figure–ground relationship and interwove bands of muted and intense color to suggest that the painting itself, rather than any subject matter, is a figure.
