One of his best known series is “The Rouen Cathedral”. Painting by MonetĬlaude Monet exclaimed, “Color is my day long obsession, joy and torment.” As he studied color he repeatedly painted the same subject at different times of day and in different weather conditions. Her work in the 1980s was characterized as much calmer, with its use of muted colors and relaxed brushwork. Throughout the 1970s, Frankenthaler explored the joining of areas of the canvas through the use of modulated hues, and experimented with large, abstract forms. By the 1970s, she started using thicker paint that allowed her to employ bright colors almost reminiscent of Fauvism. She began to make use of single stains and blots of solid color against white backgrounds, often in the form of geometric shapes. In the 1960s, she began to place strips of colors near the edges of her paintings, thus involving the edges as a part of the compositional whole. Spontaneity was important to her, as the artist stated, “A really good picture looks as if it’s happened at once.” She began exhibiting her large-scale abstract expressionist paintings in contemporary museums and galleries in the early 1950s. Helen Frankenthaler was innovative in her use of color and it evolved throughout her career. Helen Frankenthaler’s Innovative Evolution Using Color
