Helen Frankenthaler – Japanese Maple, 2005 – Mixed Media
Sixteen Color Ukiyo-e style woodcut from 9 woodblocks
Helen Frankenthaler’s Japanese Maple, created in 2005, is a limited edition print using a mixed media approach. This work is a sixteen-color Ukiyo-e style woodcut, crafted from nine woodblocks, and measures 26 by 38 cm. The composition features vibrant reds, purples, and blues, evoking the texture and warmth of natural wood grain, reminiscent of autumn leaves. The fluid, organic forms and intense hues create a sense of depth and movement, while the blue accent serves as a focal point amidst the fiery landscape. Frankenthaler’s mastery in combining traditional Japanese woodcut techniques with her signature abstract expressionist style is evident, blending spontaneity and precision in a visually captivating manner.

What is Colour Field Painting?
Artwork by Ellsworth Kelly

What is Colour Field Painting?

Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
