Bridges 1996

"Bridges" is a 1996 print by Helen Frankenthaler, known for her abstract style. The work features bold, gestural strokes of color, including vibrant reds, blues, and greens, which evoke a sense of movement and energy. The abstract forms suggest an interplay of shapes and lines, possibly referencing the dynamic flow of water, or even the architectural forms of bridges. Frankenthaler was a prominent figure in the Color Field movement, which emphasized the use of color and its expressive qualities, rather than figurative representation. Her work often incorporated elements of landscape, but in an abstract, non-representational manner.
