I've loved her work for 35 years and this film is a real treat. Thanks for the post. Really enjoyable.

WOW! I love her work I just recently stumbled upon this genius. Iam going to art school we are tought only about Jackson P. nothing about art critics greenberg or rosenberg, little if anything about Rothko or De Kooning most of this I have learned on my own, but this is truly tragic Ms. Helen is now my muse. thanks sooo much for posting

[@om-nj2hw]

Yes thank God for the internet, do much is left out of school especially ary school it seems. I left art school so long ago, and am learning so many new things.

[@latetodagame1892]

Your school sucks!

[@khambrelgreen]

[@latetodagame1892]

She's my artistic gradma!

Helen Frankentaler, work has always been is are an experience, beyond, a creative stance that brings one in the now of feelings 😀.

[@julieshrive3198]

A major talent .

[@denapeterson1112]

The music in the background while people were discussing her work was extremely distracting and not needed.

[@AbstractMedicine888]

totally agree

[@christianegonbarnthaler1426]

super art

[@HeidiParkes]

An inspiring artist! What year was this video originally made? Thank you so much for sharing it.

[@chriscimorelli378]

i like this

[@rd264]

a bit pretentious and over blown the whole modern era. I hear truth and humility from the artists and overblown rubbish from the museum clowns and art commentators.

[@karllieck9064]

Bingo!

"..and it's not precious goods, you're precious goods." Ahhhhhhh... LOVE.

Yesterday I visited a wonderful exhibition of Helen Frankenthaler's artwork in Essen, Germany. Her fabulous creations are powerful and moving, she was so very talented! This tribute film gives a very interesting overview of her life and achievements.

The senses are overwhelmed by subtle colours.

nice tribute video

[@kristinaayala3563]

Great video.Appropriate for school. This is the most information I've found in a video. Background music is a bit distracting.

[@danmarston4967]

she was one of the greatest canvas painters would have loved to have painted with Helen I also loved when she wore black socks on the canvas when she painted and her foot movements as moved around the canvas when she painted I never floor canvas painted I've only rolled paint painting walls I'm hopefully painting my room next weekend haven't painted in seven years I've also missed the paintsmelling after my room painted i'm paintsmelling all around the freshly painted room can't wait Helen R I P

[@carl7081]

Does anyone know what she was saying from 5:50 to 5:58? I'm not a native speaker and can't understand her exact words. Was she saying: "... small careful after nature water fillers..."?

[@jimbrennan7415]

small, careful, after nature water-colours (as in watercolour paintings)

[@chriscimorelli378]

i like this vidoe it is sooo cool

[@ja100163]

thanku : )

[@lhanso20]

Love her work.

[@pbr2805]

Painting abstract is mostly spontaneous. Yes, some thoughts, some accidents, some experience in painting, etc. Most abstract paintings at the on-start might have an idea, but the final results are just going at it and correcting what you have laid down to your satisfaction. Not much more. Patrick Raffaelo artist

[@lisengel2498]

I love her paintings of color, form and light and I love the very dynamic and very sensual somatic proces -

[@craignunnallypurcell]

Then what after breaking or “dishonoring” painting ?

[@latetodagame1892]

How do you learn cubism?

[@bearbait7405]

“You’re precious goods.”

[@chezceleste]

Fabulous...love it

[@mariafernandaungar8176]

en español por favor estaría muy bueno para los de habla hispana.

[@JoseighBlogs]

En español o en inglés todo es un disparate artístico ~ In Spanish or English everything is artistic nonsense:-)

[@scrapart2492]

This is Art????

[@Mr20001]

It is. Not in its most amusing form but yes, it’s art.

[@jesselopez904]

These people can make a paper bag with some paint on it SOUND like a MASTERPIECE!!😅🤣😂 Unbelievable. Its everything and its nothing. It's sheer beauty. BS.

[@Mr20001]

Personally, I find this woman’s art to be the most underwhelming of all the American painters/artists. A lot better abstract art out there…

[@f4udhorn]

She paid attention to the scenic painters of post war theatre. We painted with house brushes here out of necessity
