"A picture that is beautiful, or that comes off, or that works, looks as if it was all made at one stroke." - Helen Frankenthaler
Helen Frankenthaler was an American abstract expressionist painter. She was a major contributor to the history of postwar American painting. Having exhibited her work for over six decades (early 1950s until 2011), she spanned several generations of abstract painters while continuing to produce vital and ever-changing new work.
