Helen Frankenthaler really changed the game in the world of Abstract Art with her special way of painting.
Technique: She used watered-down oil paints. This let the colors soak into the canvas, which wasn’t prepared. The result looked bright and flowing, almost like it had a life of its own.
Impact: Her style inspired many artists after her. It helped create the Color Field movement and acted like a link between Abstract Expressionism and newer art styles that came later.
Personal Reflection: Whenever I see Frankenthaler’s work, I'm reminded of how amazing colors can be when they mix and blend together freely on the canvas.
