frankenthaler

Inspiration: Frankenthaler Upfront

In the TATE MODERN in London, I can get up close and face to face with Frankenthaler and it felt good. The way she makes a painting live in the canvas like it dreamed itself onto it.

Her soak stain technique renders her work with a dreamy, almost luminous feeling.

I am glad that I knew of her before I knew that she was married to Motherwell. Though, knowing that makes me daydream of how wonderful their home must have been. Full of art and imagination.
