Cedar Hill 1983

"Cedar Hill" is an abstract work by Helen Frankenthaler, known for her "soak-stain" technique. The painting, created in 1983, showcases Frankenthaler's signature style using thin washes of paint to achieve delicate and luminous effects. The image features a subtle palette of red, blue, green, and white, with minimal, free-flowing lines against a textured, pale background. This work exemplifies Frankenthaler's transition from her earlier, more geometric abstract expressions to a more gestural and intuitive style, emphasizing the process of painting itself.
