...views on the Shah seem, by comparison, mere tickling. Nevertheless, Still's notes on the history of abstract expressionism, which sharply contradict some idées reçues of the official version, are largely borne out by the evidence of his paintings. We see, for instance, how Barnett Newman's much praised early work, with its vertical "zip" down the canvas, was no more than a derivative rehearsal of certain canvases of Still's from...
