The art that Joseph Stella created throughout his career of four decades exhibits an extraordinary range of both subject and style, from the monumental industrial paintings of buildings and bridges that won him acclaim as America's foremost futurist painter to the mystiacal bird- and flower-filled compositions that reverberate with personal and symbolic meaning. Here are 35 of Stella's greatest works beautifully reproduced, showing the full diversity and expressive breadth of this great visionary painter.
