The artwork, titled “Air Frame,” was created by Helen Frankenthaler in 1965. This piece is representative of the Color Field Painting movement and belongs to the abstract genre.
In “Air Frame,” Frankenthaler employs a vivid blue background, occupying the majority of the canvas, enclosed by an irregular white border that varies in thickness. Three amorphous green shapes are centrally positioned, floating within the composition as if they are islands in a sea of blue. Below these shapes, a horizontal yellow form adds a contrasting element. The abstract arrangement of colors and shapes evokes a sense of fluidity and openness, characteristic of Frankenthaler’s signature style within the Color Field Painting movement.
