Helen Frankenthaler, a towering figure in American post-war art, is known for establishing the “soak stain” method of painting, whereby the canvas is laid horizontally on the floor and stained with heavily diluted oil paints. Championed by critic Clement Greenberg and associated with Abstract Expressionism in the 1950s, Frankenthaler’s influence sparked Colour Field painting in the 1960s, a movement characterized by expansive areas of colour and simplified compositions.
Guadalupe is part of Frankenthaler’s Mixografia series, which carries forward her pioneering interest in the physical reality of image creation. Using a range of materials from wax to plaster, Frankenthaler’s gestural application is set against the extensive background of suffused fields of colour, creating a space where chance and intention come together to form the work.
