Frankenthaler Helen - Mountains and the sea

Frankenthaler Helen (English Helen Frankenthaler, December 12, 1928, New York - December 27, 2011, Darien) - American artist-abstractionist of Jewish origin.

Mountains and the sea - the first significant work of the artist, made in the technique of blurred spots. Its rich colors, flowing shapes and the possibility of physical fusion on the canvas of the foreground and background had a significant impact on Kenneth Noland and Maurice Luis, who later mastered this innovative technique. The abstract nature of the Frankenthaler landscape, the spontaneity of color and the randomness of the arrangement of the colorful spots all add to the quality of the painting of abstract expressionism. Invariably large-scale paintings of the artist leave an unforgettable impression of sincerity and tenderness.
