// Comet by Helen Frankenthaler is a limited-edition print created between 1980 and 1982, using the techniques of etching and aquatint. This piece features a meditative composition of warm, earthy hues, primarily rich browns, oranges, and subtle hints of red and white. The abstract forms and soft transitions of color evoke a sense of fluidity and depth, as if viewing a distant celestial event or a comet streaking through an atmospheric haze. Frankenthaler's use of color and texture exemplifies her lyrical approach to abstraction, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a quiet and introspective visual experience that balances spontaneity with intentional form.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
