Most of you are probably saying "Who?"
He was one of my favorite living painters. (Not any more.) I never much liked his early color field paintings, but the ones from the 80s and 90s with the overlapping lines were great. He used to draw with really long brushes or long sticks dipped in paint. SFMoMA has several - this one is a good example. Now that Conceptualism has pretty much conquered all, there really aren't any more really famous abstract painters that I can think of. (I am dismissing the B.S. Jeff Koons dot paintings. He didn't paint them anyway; his assistants did.) Marden may have been the last.
