Helen Frankenthaler

We instinctively fell in love with the freshness of her colors, but probably got hypnotized by the magnetism of her shapes, able to transport us into primordial correspondences with natural elements and landscapes.

Helen Frankenthaler (1928–2011), was eminent among the second generation of postwar American abstract painters and is widely credited for playing a pivotal role in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Color Field painting. One of the foremost colorists of the time, she produced a body of work whose impact on contemporary art has been profound.

Although not not unanimously praised by the critics, who regarded her works as “too sweet in color and too poetic”, we feel inclined to appreciate the immediacy of her paintings, the freedom, spontaneity, openness and complexity of an image, not exclusively of the mind, but explicitly and intimately tied to nature and human emotions. Helen Frankenthaler rarely discussed the sources of her abstract imagery, which reflected her impressions of the landscape, her meditations on personal experiences and the pleasures of dealing with paint.

She has been pioneering in the “stain” painting technique. She worked by pouring thinned paint directly onto a raw, unprimed canvas laid on the studio floor, working from all sides to create floating fields of translucent color. The unpredictability of the result would require attentive gestures and intuitive for the transmutation of the inner impulses.

Her oeuvre exudes a beauty that we may find in the movements of experienced crafters or dancers: a sensual and fluid correspondence between matter and body language, that inspires us in deep.

Illogical and Impractical

My Dear Blog,

When people read some creative writing, they are not looking for absolute foolproof logic or most practical information. They are just looking for emotions, content straight from the heart.

For no reason, abstract painters like Picasso and Pollock have been appreciated so much.
