Untitled
After attending Hans Hofmann’s renowned studio school in New York, this artist followed his teacher to Provincetown, Massachusetts, where Stout eventually settled full time in the early 1950s. Part of a small community of artists, Stout’s tenure in the beach town allowed him the space to develop his iconic, quiet, and small-scale version of what is sometimes called hard-edged abstraction at some remove from New York. Stout’s works are always diminutive, marking another difference from the large size of most of his Abstract Expressionist contemporaries.
