Frankenthaler, Helen (1928– )
US abstract expressionist painter. She invented the colour-staining technique whereby the unprimed, absorbent canvas is stained or soaked with thinned-out paint, creating deep, soft veils of translucent colour, as in Mountains and Sea (1952).
| She was influenced by the work of abstract impressionists Arshile Gorky and Jackson Pollock. |
