Helen Frankenthaler was a significant abstract expressionist painter known for her pioneering technique of staining raw canvas with thin washes of color. Helen Frankenthaler made an indelible mark on the art world through her innovative approach to painting. At the forefront of the abstract expressionist movement, Frankenthaler developed a distinctive style known as the "soak-stain" technique.
