2005
Helen Frankenthaler, an integral member of the second wave of Abstract Expressionists, was a trailblazer of the modern printmaking movement, endlessly pushing and transcending boundaries through relentless experimentation. Frankenthaler invented the 'soak-stain' method during the 1950s, in which she applied washes of thinned paint to unprimed canvas to create a fluid, watercolour-like effect. We see the same method expertly applied in this later screenprint of Frankenthaler's. The warm, sunny tones, gracefully flow into one another in this abstract piece, demonstrating the artists skill as a printmaker.
