C.).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Prints
There is a major retrospective devoted to Frank Stella's prints at the Addison Art Museum in Massachusetts (Spring 2017). All the materials on display are from the Jordan Snitzer Family Foundation. With the catalog available this would make an excellent section on Stella's prints, which are much more varied and useful in thinking about his full body of work than many people might realize.

The Horst Wessel Lied, etc.
What organization, what format? I think I guess I might know what this is supposed to mean, but...? What if the analysis in the source here (see note) is complete nonsense?

PS.: Just read the Whitney staff piece (refered to in the notes) and it simply does not say what is stated in our article here.

And I can't remember any debate of "the NS theme in early Stella" in all the art critical literature I have ever read - I never was a specialist in Stella, though. I tried to find anything in Artforum (no success so far, but the Artforum archives are closed to me now).--Ralfdetlef (talk) 19:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)


 * ? The Whitney cite says : "While Stella insisted on the non-referentiality of his paintings, the German title Die Fahne hoch!, which translates as "hoist the flag," is taken from the "Horst Wessel Song," the Nazi Party’s marching anthem.
 * Our article says, "Die Fahne Hoch! (1959) takes its name ("Hoist the Flag!" or "Raise the Flag!") from the first line of the Horst-Wessel-Lied, an anthem of the Nazi Party." You seem to be missing something. Carlstak (talk) 20:19, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've moved the first cite, and added one by Carol Salus, with quote:
 * The artist provided a number of factors involved in his selection of Die Fahne Hoch! With its title taken from the first line of the Horst Wessel song (Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!), the Nazi Party anthem, this march song was sung at public meetings and used as a musical background for the Nuremburg rallies of the 1930s. Stella said for him it recalled a waving flag, adding: "The thing that stuck in my mind was the Nazi newsreels—that big draped swastika—the big hanging flag—has pretty much those dimensions." Stella pointed out that the proportions of his canvas (10'1" x 6'1") are much the same as the large flags displayed by the Nazis.
 * As you say, you were never "a specialist in Stella". ;-) Carlstak (talk) 21:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Number of Children
There is an error in the identification of his children. The words result in 7 children but I think he only had 5. 2601:14D:8700:28F0:A884:BF48:5A38:3F6C (talk) 14:07, 12 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Your math is wrong—according to the article and the given sources, he had six children. Carlstak (talk) 15:16, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
