A GORGEOUS 1st Edition (McBride, NAP) large coffee table retrospective of the print work of Helen Frankenthaler.
Profusely illustrated with full color as well as black and white examples from one of the most influential American painters of the 20th century.
"In 1952 Frankenthaler created Mountains and Sea, a breakthrough painting of American abstraction for which she poured thinned paint directly onto raw, unprimed canvas laid on the studio floor, working from all sides to create floating fields of translucent color. Mountains and Sea was immediately influential for the artists who formed the Color Field school of painting, notable among them Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland." The Frankenthaler Foundation
