Sun Corner 1968

"Sun Corner" is a 1968 lithograph by American artist Helen Frankenthaler, known for her pioneering contributions to Color Field painting. The artwork showcases Frankenthaler's signature "soak-stain" technique, where thinned oil paint is applied to unprimed canvas, resulting in soft, luminous colors and subtle variations in hue. The composition is a study of abstract form and color, with a blue shape on the left, a yellow shape on the right, and a central white space punctuated by delicate lines of red, green, and brown. The overall effect is one of calm and understated beauty, reflecting Frankenthaler's focus on color and gesture in her art.
