Freefall 1992

"Freefall" is a 1992 work by American abstract expressionist Helen Frankenthaler. This large-scale work is a prime example of her "soak-stain" technique, where thinned oil paint is poured onto a canvas, allowing the colors to blend and create subtle, atmospheric effects. The painting features a predominantly blue color scheme with hints of green, black, and yellow, creating a sense of depth and movement. The abstract forms and loose brushwork evoke a feeling of weightlessness and freedom, giving the work its evocative title.
