"Helen Frankenthaler is celebrated for her revolutionary 'soak-stain' technique, which involved pouring thinned paint onto raw canvas to create vibrant, expansive fields of color. This book showcases a wide selection of her work, from early compositions to more mature abstractions. With richly reproduced color plates and insightful essays by leading art critics, Frankenthaler delves into the artist’s influence on contemporary art and her mastery of color and form."
