En savoir plus sur le livre
At the dawn of the 1950s, a dedicated young painter named Helen Frankenthaler returned to New York City to establish her name. By the decade's end, she had become a significant figure in the postwar American art scene. During these transformative years, she created daring paintings and navigated her personal life, traveling the world, experiencing love, and pursuing continuous artistic growth. Raised in privilege as the daughter of a judge, she left that security behind to follow her artistic ambitions and left her mark on the city she called home. Acclaimed art historian Alexander Nemerov vividly captures defining moments in her life, from her first encounter with Jackson Pollock's drip paintings to her solo gallery show and her tumultuous breakup with art critic Clement Greenberg. Inspired by Pollock and other male abstract expressionists, Frankenthaler was determined to carve her own path in a male-dominated field. This narrative offers an exhilarating exploration of New York's 1950s art scene and a compelling portrait of a young artist shaped by her experiences.
