“Reflections I” is an abstract lithography created by Helen Frankenthaler in 1995. This artwork belongs to the Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction movements and exemplifies the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features an array of delicate pastels and organic shapes. The composition is distinguished by a loose, flowing application of colors, possibly suggesting reflections or a state of serene contemplation. The use of soft, earthy tones including pale yellow, pink, and blue create a harmonious balance, while the bold central form anchors the piece. The background and edges frame the image in a soft, almost diffuse manner, emphasizing the artist’s abstract and lyrical approach. The inclusion of water-like textures evokes a sense of fluidity and movement, reflective of Frankenthaler’s signature style.
