In 1964, Whitney enrolled in art school at the Columbus College of Art and Design and then transferred to the Kansas City Art Institute, where he completed his undergraduate degree in 1968.

==Work and approach==
===Painting=== Whitney has engaged in abstraction since early in his career, and is best known for his paintings which take the form of "grids" of color, arranged in four rows. He arrived at this mode while working in Italy in the 1990s, after the sights of stone blocks in ancient monuments and closely-stacked funeral urns at the Museo Etrusco Guarnacci led Whitney to reconcile his concepts of space and color in painting: “When I understood that, I felt I had the last piece of the puzzle. Space is in the color – boom, I’ve got it."<ref name="Ashby" /><ref name="Imam2022">{{cite web |last=Imam |first=James |title='Placing colour at the centre of things': Venice exhibition brings together Stanley Whitney's Italian-inspired paintings | website=The Art Newspaper |url=https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2022/04/11/placing-colour-at-the-centre-of-things-venice-exhibition-brings-together-stanley-whitneys-italian-inspired-paintings|date=11 April 2022 |access-date=8 December 2024}}</ref> Other influences cited by Whitney have included Paul Cézanne, Piet Mondrian, Agnes Martin, and the quilters of Gee's Bend.<ref name="Neri2020">{{cite web |last=Neri |first=Louise|title=The Space Is In the Color: Stanley Whitney| website=Gagosian Gallery| url=https://gagosian.com/quarterly/2020/04/10/interview-space-is-in-the-color-stanley-whitney-louise-neri/|date=10 April 2020|access-date=8 December 2024}}</ref><ref name="Conner2021">{{cite web |last=Conner |first=Allison|title=Stanley Whitney's Improvisatory Approach to Abstraction| website=Hyperallergic|url=https://hyperallergic.com/630934/stanley-whitney-how-black-is-that-blue-matthew-marks/|date=22 March 2021|access-date=8 December 2024}}</ref>
In a 2015 interview, Whitney considered: "I never think about the structure as a grid—though it is a grid, really. I’m a real New York City painter, if you know what I mean. My paintings are just the way New York is. I want that kind of simplicity, which is also the madness of New York, because of the color. So you have this contradiction, in a sense. There’s the grid, which should be very orderly, and then you put the color, and it throws the whole thing off."<ref name="Gumby" /> In a given work, he will begin painting with a single stripe of color beginning at the top-left corner of his canvas, and then paint along and down in square forms using a method inspired by jazz improvisation: “Once I’ve got one color down, it will tell me what the next color will be.”<ref name="Ashby" />
=== Other media === Whitney has also worked in monotype and in drawing, and premiered his first work in stained glass in 2022. Created to fulfill a commission by the Baltimore Museum of Art for permanent installation in their Ruth R. Marder Center for Matisse Studies, Whitney's suite of stained glass windows were inspired by Henri Matisse's work at the Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence.<ref name="Baltimore">{{cite web | title=Baltimore Museum of Art Presents Stanley Whitney: Dance With Me Henri | website=Baltimore Museum of Art |url=https://artbma.org/about/press/release/baltimore-museum-of-art-presents-stanley-whitney-dance-with-me-henri |date=16 August 2022|access-date=8 December 2024}}</ref><ref name="Gershon2021">{{cite web | last=Gershon | first=Livia |title=Why Baltimore Is Poised to Become a Major Hub for Henri Matisse Fans | website=Smithsonian |url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/baltimore-museum-becomes-major-hub-for-henri-matisse-art-180979273/|date=22 December 2021|access-date=8 December 2024}}</ref>
