Helen Frankenthaler (USA, 1928–2011) was a leading abstract painter and a pioneer of the Color Field movement. Known for her innovative 'soak-stain' technique, she applied diluted paint directly onto unprimed canvases, creating luminous, fluid compositions that redefined modern abstraction.

- Helen Frankenthaler

Initially creating in the style of abstract expressionism before going on to pioneer the Colour Field movement, Helen Frankenthaler was an iconic, highly influential artist with work spanning across the mediums of painting, sculpture and printmaking. Frankenthaler was initially recognised for her colour-stain technique – the practice of applying heavily diluted oil paint onto an unprimed canvas that had been lay flat on the floor; the practice of laying the canvas flat was inspired by Jackson Pollock. Frankenthaler drew a lot of her inspiration from nature – her works would analyse natural forms and recreate them on the canvas – this, as well as the technique of laying the canvas flat, is exemplified in her most notable painting, Mountains and Sea. Asides from these paintings, Frankenthaler also received acclaim for her printmaking – Madame Butterfly is her most recognised print and was created with the use of 46 woodblocks and a range of 102 different colours.
