Free Wheeling 1971

"Free Wheeling" is a 1971 work by abstract expressionist painter Helen Frankenthaler. The work features a minimalist aesthetic with thin black lines radiating outward from a central point on a white canvas. Dabs of green, red, yellow, and blue paint are added around the perimeter. The lines and colors appear to float on the canvas, creating a sense of movement and energy. The work represents Frankenthaler's evolution from her earlier soak-stain technique to a more linear style.
