Over het werk
This is Frankenthaler’s first print at Universal Limited Art Editions (U.L.A.E.) and demonstrates her playful experimentation with tusche wash and crayon to capture her painterly gesture. She manipulated the tusche with various implements, including facial tissues, a stick, and her finger.

Her work is described as “colour field painting”
In 1960 the term “colour field painting” is used to describe Frankenthaler’s work: large areas of colour on the canvas, hues similar in tone or intensity, large formats and simplified compositions.
1963
A switch to acrylic paints
From 1963 she uses acrylic paints rather than oils, because they allow for both opacity and sharpness on the canvas.
