Original color etching aquaitint engraving and embossing printed from 11 copper plates and 5 plastic plates with lithograph printed poems and colophon, hand signed by the artist. // Valentine for Mr. Wonderful by Helen Frankenthaler, created in 1995, is a delicate and expressive etching and aquatint that combines color, texture, and text. The artwork is characterized by a large, loosely drawn heart in red that frames an abstract blend of earthy tones and subtle embossing. Within the composition, scribbled text reading Valentine for Mr. Wonderful adds a personal and whimsical touch, suggesting a playful or intimate gesture. The piece incorporates multiple techniques, including engraving and embossing, which add depth and dimension to the surface. Frankenthaler’s use of color is soft and evocative, while her abstract forms convey emotion in a free, painterly style. This work exemplifies her ability to blend abstraction with personal expression, creating a visually and emotionally engaging piece.

What is abstract expressionism?

Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
