“Robinson’s Wrap,” created by Helen Frankenthaler in 1974, is an abstract artwork belonging to the Color Field Painting and Lyrical Abstraction movements. Executed with acrylic on canvas, this piece is part of a private collection.
The artwork features an expansive and serene composition dominated by a large, central form composed of layered, translucent colors. A soft, pale green band crowns the piece, blending seamlessly into a warm, vibrant layer of deep reds and purples. These hues subtly transition, creating a visual gradation that evokes a sense of depth and complexity. The background is a muted, neutral tone, allowing the central colors to emerge distinctively. Helen Frankenthaler’s masterful use of color and fluid forms creates a composition that is both harmonious and dynamic, embodying the essence of abstract expressionism within the lyrical abstraction genre.
