There is much to be said for great detail and sunny days, but our focus here is on their opposites. Helen Frankenthaler came up with her signature Soak Stain painting technique of letting turpentine and diluted acrylic paint do their thing on unprimed canvas in the early 1950s, by way of self-professed "impatience and laziness." Those paintings added a new layer to the way we appreciate abstract art, allowing us to recall the beauty of a water stain on leather in much the same way we might envision a sweeping, epic landscape. Have you ever looked out of a water-streaked window onto an NYC skyline at night, or out to the ocean, in the middle of a rainstorm? There is nothing so beautiful as the force of liquid left to meander, blend, and blur. Reproduced in wool and cotton here, a happy accident to admire.
