COLOR FIELD ARTIST HELEN FRANKENTHALER DIES AT 83

By Mike Boehm, Los Angeles Times
December 28, 2011

Helen Frankenthaler, a New York artist whose bursts of color achieved by pouring thinned paint onto canvas from coffee cans helped point art in fresh directions after the initial post-World War II explosion of Abstract Expressionism.  Frankenthaler died Tuesday after a long, unspecified illness at her home in Darien, Conn. She was 83.
In 1952, the 23-year-old Frankenthaler hit upon her "soak stain" technique, achieving some of the vibrancy, lightness and pliancy of watercolor by thinning down acrylic paint and pouring it on a large, unprimed canvas spread on the floor of her Manhattan studio.
"Mountains and Sea," her breakthrough in pink, blue and green, set a style that critics — although not universally — have applauded for its lyricism and luminous use of color. Frankenthaler's stain technique influenced others such as Morris Louis, Jules Olitski and Kenneth Noland, giving rise to the Color Field movement of the 1950s and '60s.

The Alchemist's Chamber

It was once believed that alchemists could harness the powers of nature to prolong life and to transform worthless metals into silver and gold. Believing art to be the true panacea, Olivier Cornet, independent curator and artist’s agent, has invited 10 artists to harness their power, their creativity, to turn household objects and recycled furniture into works of art, to breathe new life into old artefacts. For more information, please contact the organiser and curator of the show, olivier cornet at ocornet@olliart.com, 0872887261, www.olliart.com
