Helen Frankenthaler
An influential figure in American art in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Helen Frankenthaler was an abstract expressionist painter, sculptor and engraver. Frankenthaler has been considered a pioneer in the plastic arts since the autumn of 1952 when she created "Mountains and Sea", in which she used her famous Soak Stein technique. Helen Frankenthaler s work is also distinguished by her non-application of chromatic rules; she continued to take risks by disregarding all notions of three-dimensionality.
