Biography:
Helen Frankenthaler studied at Bennington College in Vermont under abstract artist Hans Hoffman and Rufino Tamayo. It was in the period of her artistic development that she developed her technique of applying thin, diluted paint to a plain canvas to acheieve the effect of her other medium, watercolors. Her large paintings pay attention to the forms created through her method and are reminiscent of landscape paintings. Frankthaler was married fellow artist Robert Motherwell from 1958 to 1971.
