  8. Helen Frankenthaler • Born: December 12, 1928 • Nationality: American • Movements: Color Field Painting, Abstract Expressionism, Lyrical Abstraction • The Color Field artists set themselves apart from the Abstract Expressionists because they eliminated the emotional, mythic or the religious content and the highly personal and gestural and painterly application. • Style Characteristics: large areas of a more or less flat single color. Color Field painting is characterized primarily by large fields of flat, solid color, spread across or stained into the canvas

  17. Joan Miro • Lived:1893-1983 • Nationality: Spanish • Joan Miro is known for his playful art. His emblematic images make a naive, childlike impression at first sight. In contrast to the image of his art, he was a solid, hard-working man who preferred to come to gallery exhibitions in dark business suits. • Style: Automatic Drawing • Characteristics: Uses formats of stripes, targets, simple geometric patterns and references to landscape imagery and to nature.

  18. Joan Miro • Automatic Drawing: Developed by the surrealists, as a means of expressing the subconscious. • The hand is allowed to move 'randomly' across the paper. In applying chance and accident to mark-making, drawing is to a large extent freed of rational control. • The drawing produced may be attributed in part to the subconscious and may reveal something of the psyche, which would otherwise be repressed.
