ART






I love Helen Frankenthaler. Yes. Helen Frankenthaler. She's an arTIST. She is associated with (or pioneered) a movement called post-painterly abstraction.  Her stuff comes after Jackson Pollack and such. She wanted to make paintings increasingly abstract and she did this by eliminating the texture. Her work is very watercolor-like. Note: this is a paraphrase of what I remember from last year's class, it's the basic gist of her work, but there is obviously more to it. Check out some of her awesomeness above ^^
