The artwork, titled “Leveling,” was created by Helen Frankenthaler in 1973. It belongs to the Color Field Painting and Lyrical Abstraction movements and falls within the abstract genre.
“Leveling” features a dynamic interplay of broad, sweeping strokes of color. Dominated by a large, soft expanse of blues, purples, and yellows, the composition creates a sense of depth and fluidity. The colors run seamlessly into one another, producing a tranquil yet compelling visual experience. At the edges, more vibrant hues like green and pink punctuate the composition, drawing the viewer’s eye and adding a sense of balance and harmony. The delicate transitions between the colors showcase Frankenthaler’s mastery of her medium and contribute to the overall serene yet complex nature of the artwork.
