The length and mellifluous sound of this work\u2019s title, which literally means \u201cFrom life nothing to death nothing,\u201d coincides with the rising and falling visual cadences of the painting. The two-dimensional surface, which appears as if it might continue into infinity, consists of 20 parallel lines and seems to alternately project from and recede into the wall. Although Stella\u2019s rigorously calibrated surface, immaculate execution, and use of monochromatic gold pigment temper this painting, they barely constrain its kinetic exuberance.<\/p>\n","short_description":null,"dimensions":"205.7 \u00d7 744.2 cm (81 \u00d7 293 in.)","dimensions_detail":[{"depth":null,"width":744,"height":205,"diameter":null,"clarification":null}],"medium_display":"Metallic powder in polymer emulsion on canvas","inscriptions":null,"credit_line":"Ada S.
