The artwork, titled “All About Blue,” was created by Helen Frankenthaler in 1994 using a combination of lithography, woodcut, paper, and aluminum. It is part of the Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction movements and measures 123 x 73 cm. This abstract piece is housed in the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) in Canberra, Australia.
“All About Blue” exhibits a predominantly blue color palette, with the central area featuring intertwined streaks of brighter hues such as yellow, white, and hints of red. These streaks create a sense of movement and depth against the rich blue background. The composition appears dynamic and fluid, reflecting Frankenthaler’s signature style of blending colors and forms to evoke emotional and visual responses. The abstract nature of the artwork allows for varied interpretations, contributing to its evocative and contemplative quality.
