Unit 8.1 Discussion Forum

 let’s take a look at the extensive career of Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011), who found a way to incorporate all of the innovative techniques artists were experimenting with starting in 1945.  Her paintings have elements of action painting, abstract expressionism, color-filed painting, non-objective subject matter.  They are also aesthetically pleasing to a large audience.  Search for a Frankenthaler painting online, or even an image of her working on a painting, post it and discuss which of these new techniques in art making you see her using.
