The artwork, titled “Sun Corner,” was created in 1968 by the artist Helen Frankenthaler. It belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is classified within the genre of abstract art.
“Sun Corner” demonstrates a fluid and spontaneous composition, characteristic of Frankenthaler’s pioneering technique in the Color Field Painting movement. The artwork is dominated by large, bold areas of color – primarily blue and yellow – with hints of green and red lines. The colors are applied in a way that creates dynamic tension and balance while maintaining an airy, light feel. The interplay between the defined shapes and the subtle gradients exemplifies Frankenthaler’s innovative approach to abstract expression. The overall effect of the artwork is both vibrant and contemplative, inviting the viewer to immerse in its emotive, color-infused space.
