"Helen Frankenthaler is an American-born painter, printmaker, and sculptor who, along with fellow artists Kenneth Noland and Morris Louis, spearheaded the practice of Color Field painting, a component of Abstract Expressionism. Her innovative technique, along with her use of landscape to inform her abstract work, changed the way artists conceived of and used color in their own work and made her the most prominent female member of the Abstract Expressionist and Color Field Painting movements." - Via The Art Story
I learned about Helen Frankenthaler last semester in my Modern Art class. I really enjoy women artists, and I love Abstract Expressionism. I saw one of her paintings at the St. Louis Art Museum, and its amazing looking at her work up close. Her work is so controlled and she does not use a brush at all! I think she is absolutely fantastic!
