The artwork, titled “Springscape,” was created by Helen Frankenthaler in 1975. It belongs to the Color Field Painting and Lyrical Abstraction movements and is characterized as an abstract genre.
The artwork presents a soothing visual experience consisting of broad washes of color that seamlessly blend into one another. Predominantly featuring shades of green, the composition is punctuated by hints of other colors, such as blues and reds. These colors meld together, creating an atmospheric and almost ethereal landscape. The forms are minimalistic, and the technique involves a fluid application of paint, contributing to an overall sense of tranquility and expansive openness. Helen Frankenthaler’s mastery in blending colors on a flat surface is evident, echoing the principles of both Color Field Painting and Lyrical Abstraction.
