The artwork titled “Flirt,” created by Helen Frankenthaler in 1995, belongs to the Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction movements. It is classified under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork showcases an intricate interplay of colors and forms on a predominantly light pink background. Central to the composition are vibrant blobs and streaks of orange, pink, green, and brown, which appear to float and intermingle organically. The arrangement of colors and shapes suggests a dynamic yet harmonious balance, characteristic of Frankenthaler’s lyrical abstraction style. Additionally, the artwork includes accents of light blue along the edges, providing a sense of boundary and containment to the otherwise free and fluid forms. The juxtaposition of soft hues and bold strokes demonstrates the artist’s skill in creating a visually stimulating and contemplative piece.
