Rating: 5 (246 reviews)

Helen Frankenthaler was a prominent American Abstract Expressionist painter, renowned for her pioneering "soak-stain" technique which created vibrant, colour-saturated fields. Throughout her career, which spanned over six decades, Frankenthaler continued to evolve, experimenting with new mediums and techniques. Although her style fluctuated between abstraction and a loose representation, it always maintained a focus on colour relationships and composition. Frankenthaler's contributions to Abstract Expressionism and the larger art world were profound, influencing generations of artists after her.
