“Helen Frankenthaler was an American painter, sculptor and printmaker associated with the second-generation abstract expressionists, and a pioneer of the color field movement. She is renowned for using an innovative “soak stain” technique to create her landscape-inspired abstract works.”(http://www.findingdulcinea.com/features/profiles/f/helen-frankenthaler.html)
