The artwork, titled “Boulevard” and created by Helen Frankenthaler in 1973, belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is considered an abstract genre piece.
In the artwork, Helen Frankenthaler employs broad, sweeping colors that blend seamlessly into one another. The composition features a palette of pastel hues, with a noticeable presence of yellows, greens, and soft pinks. These colors are applied in an unbounded, flowing manner that seems to transcend the confines of the canvas. Lines and boundaries within the artwork are subtle or diffuse, creating a serene and expansive visual experience. The overall effect is one of calm yet dynamic interplay of color, characteristic of Frankenthaler’s signature style in the Color Field Painting movement.
