The artwork titled “Making Music” was created by Helen Frankenthaler in the year 2000. It belongs to the Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction movements and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a dynamic composition characterized by a blend of fluid and gestural strokes. Dominated by an expansive brush of yellow at the top and a curved swath of orange, the piece exudes a sense of movement and spontaneity. Interspersed throughout are various shapes and lines, including splashes and drips of green and blue, creating a visual harmony that is both vibrant and contemplative. Central to the composition is a more structured area with intricate, intertwined lines and dashes of color, providing a balance to the freeform elements that surround it. Helen Frankenthaler’s use of color and form invites viewers to interpret the interplay of musicality and abstraction inherent in the artwork.
