Helen Frankenthaler, 2003

Helen Frankenthaler was an American Abstract Expressionist painter. She was well-known for her bright-colored canvases and lyric qualities. She was born on December 12, 1928, in New York and died on December 27, 2011, in Darien, Connecticut. She studied at Dalton School in New York and at Bennington College in Bennington. In 1960, she started to use acrylics on canvases. Then later in her life she also did some lithographs on papers. This Morning’s Weather (1982) and Yoruba (2002) were her famous artworks that show great landscapes in her paintings. I like her paints as they were softly painted with dramatic colors.
