Review: ‘Pretty Raw’ Recounts Helen Frankenthaler’s Influence on the Art World

An exhibition at the Rose Art Museum in Waltham, Mass., tells how Ms. Frankenthaler became a leading figure in Color Field painting.

WALTHAM, Mass. — A groundbreaking show at the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University here clears a more prominent place for Helen Frankenthaler in the history of postwar New York painting. “Pretty Raw: After and Around Helen Frankenthaler” re-examines her 1952 invention of stain-painting and traces some of its repercussions up to the present.

In a way that eludes most exhibitions that include contemporary art, “Pretty Raw” is gorgeous, full of fresh insights and diverse yet coherent, connected throughout by a formal rather than a literary theme: color used freely and inventively often at full strength — in liquid, process-oriented ways. Another through line is feminist thought and its aesthetic ramifications, especially in painting, with “the feminine” as both a stereotype to be shattered and an artistic potential to be explored. Above all there is the implication that it remains in many ways implicitly political for a woman to paint.

Break out the celebration dances, this NYT review has us floating through the rest of Pretty Raw’s run.

Come see what all the fuss is about, open through Sunday.

“Pretty Raw: After and Around Helen Frankenthaler” at Rose Art Museum

Curating a show to posit the idea of artists following in another’s footsteps is always a difficult feat that runs the risk of facile didacticism. Yet Katy Yet Katy Siegel steers clear of such a fate here, tracing a legacy of Helen Frankenthaler that is consistently surprising. Anchored by her 1962 canvas Hommage à M. L., the show divides into a variety of media and styles.

"There have always been women who were artists, but it was men who wrote the history books. And somehow, they just forgot to mention them."

"...this is a problem for art historians. Do they simply go back in time and insert these female artists into the pages of art history? That seems to ignore the fact that these artists have been historically ignored. Do they write books just about women artists? But that only marginalizes, pigeon-holes and isolates these artists from the movements, influences and eras that they have been a part of. This is still a hotly debated issue and has led to a radical re-thinking of the way the history of art is presented."

Pretty Raw presents one crack at this ongoing issue, reexamining mid-20th Century American art history with a woman artist -- Helen Frankenthaler -- as a kicking off point instead of, say, Jackson Pollack.

Entranced

Once in awhile, Time is spent together. Stone cold walls, Bare and spinning. What's my sin, When I lost my religion? Just call me your muse, And I'll know no boundaries. Can you rip out your heart, Go ahead lay it all out on the table. Just sing to me- sing your symphony, I'll sway along and sing it back to you.

dont know what to call this lol

It's amazing and I can't find any other word than "potential" you see this girl's tumblr or you meet a girl and you really get to know her, and you find out what makes her happy the little things the big things the things that no one would even think of doing to make this girl happy, and honestly in the back of your head you can't help but think I know what she wants, she knows I know. I can be that guy for her. But that isn't how I want to find the girl I'm going to spend the rest of my life with and also that's not how it works you're only friends you can't do that thought that's okay cause you feel that friendship is best for you. But me being young and all I can't help but think.. all of these girls so different, so complex in their own way, maybe there are such things as soul mates? 

Maybe there is someone out there for every girl to make their dreams come true but it honestly falls into lucks hand whether or not they find one another, and there could also be the possibility that it may only work one way. Us guys have our needs too, the things that we really want to accomplish in our lives even if it takes a little guidance in our life for us to realize what we actually aspire to become, and do. Though maybe that's just it, the fact the men have that ability to make a woman feel complete and in return once done so by the male, the female then begins her part of helping complete the male, creating a weird form of soul mates? Even though that kinda goes completely against what I have just said about there only being one way soul mates, that could be true too.. let's say the guy can do everything for that girl and truly make her happy but she just doesn't see it in her eyes. The last possibility I want to think of at this time of the hour is that maybe everything is all made up. Everything girl's wish to have for most of their lives, alll of the novels, fairy tales, stories, quotes, poems, haiku's whatever you want; maybe they were all just built off of false hope from people before us who just needed something to lean on to make themselves feel better about their lives. Since writing can affect peoples lives in ways thought unimaginable it could have set a spark to the fire of the worlds desire to be loved, or find their soul mate who they could live happily ever after with. I also find it incredible how an author can change the way the world looks at things, I think it's possible for a good enough writer and speaker to bring upon the world peace in all nations, to make history and join hands. The way a sentence is written can be altered to becoming not just a sentence but a quote that could potentially affect millions of lives, giving people hope or satisfaction in their lives. In opposition those same words could be comprehended so differently it could destroy a persons beliefs and their outlook on life, words control a large sum of the worlds brain it lets us understand and identify feelings, in way we thought never possible.
