Artwork Title: Driving East

Driving East, 2002

Helen Frankenthaler

"Driving East makes you think of a landscape when you first look at it. The bottom portion resembles a hilly terrain in silhouette, and the rest of the canvas resembles an open expanse of overcast sky. This interpretation doesn't take you very far though. Before long, your eyes become lost in the gently modulated fields of emotive color. This is not a lightweight sensation. A portentous air hangs about the work. You initially feel like a specific place is being described, but soon you are overtaken by a sense of timelessness and isolation; you go from place to no-place." http://www.artcritical.com/blurbs/EGFrankenthaler2.htm
