"Helen Frankenthaler is an American painter and printmaker known for developing a style based on the stain paint technique. His practice serves as a bridge between the Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s and the Color Field painters of the 1960s and influences a generation of New York painters. His work Mountains and Sea (1952), a mixture of pastel oil paints and charcoal on untreated canvas, prompted Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland to create their own styles of stained canvas. Born December 12, 1928 in New York, she studied with Rufino Tamayo at Dalton School and with Paul Feeley at Bennington College. Frankenthaler attracted the attention of art critic Clement Greenberg in the 1950s and over time his work gained international recognition. The Jewish Museum in New York hosted her first retrospective in 1960 and she continued to work in painting, printmaking and sculpture until her death on December 27, 2011 in Darien, Connecticut at the age of 83."

Frankenthaler, Krasner and Mitchell ... the “holy” trinity of abstract expressionism.
This is an exceptional presentation.
As the saying goes: I don't know art, but I know what I like. And I really like Helen Frankenthaler's work. Thank you for posting this (... and the Mozart).
Enjoy seeing the early works as well as the more well known.
There's so much to like about Frankenthaler's art. Thanks.
you put together a splendid collection of works by the magnificent Helen Frankenthaler . so enjoyable thank you Aurelio .
Thank you Aurelio. She was realy great great painter with special feminine sense and feeling for color and space.
Helen Frankenthaler said: "There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about."
She brought complete freedom to painting and thus influenced new generations of painters. In her first big part of "Mountains and the Sea", I see a portrait of a girl with a hat.
She painted huge formats admiring the color and large field of the painting.
She was the wife of the famous painter Robert Motherwell and surpassed many male painters of her generation with her work.
I’ve been familiar with her work from the 60’s-80’s and appreciated it a lot. But, the works from the 50’s that you have here completely blow me away! So bold, yet fantastic, compositions. They literally look like they could have been painting 5 minutes ago (1/2024)!!
Nice job sir, as always.
Her understanding of paint astounds me. Composition is outstanding. Your presentation is so enjoyable. Thank you very much.
Thank you for these wonderful videos, but can you please make the titles less prominent... it takes away from the appreciation of the work.
For me it is a real problem to choose a presentation that pleases all my subscribers especially when the image occupies the entire screen.
After the fading of the titles you can stop the pictures whenever you want and continue as you wish. Greetings.
Non ho né intelligenza né sensibilità né cultura né soldi. E' certo colpa mia, ma di fronte a queste opere ed al prestigio di cui sono ammantate riesco solo ad irritarmi.
