Helen Frankenthaler's "Bullseye" from 1989 is a prime example of her signature "soak-stain" technique. The abstract composition is dominated by vibrant hues of yellow, orange, and pink, applied in a fluid and ethereal manner. This method, developed in the 1950s, involved diluting oil paint with turpentine, allowing it to seep into the canvas, creating a soft and luminous effect. The central orange "bullseye" is a striking focal point, while the surrounding washes of color evoke a sense of movement and depth, characteristic of Frankenthaler's approach to abstract expressionism.
