“August Deep” by Helen Frankenthaler, created in 1978, is a distinguished piece within the Abstract Expressionism movement. It exemplifies the abstract genre and showcases the artist’s command over color and form.
The artwork features a vibrant interplay of colors, dominated by greens, browns, and yellows. Broad, sweeping strokes create a dynamic yet harmonious composition, evocative of an abstract landscape. The colors seem to merge and overlap, suggesting depth and motion. The technique employed allows the various hues to interact fluidly, resulting in a rich, layered texture that engages the viewer. Each stroke appears intentional and contributes to an overall sense of organic growth and natural rhythm.
