The artwork, titled “Bullseye,” was created by the artist Helen Frankenthaler in 1989. It belongs to the art movements of Color Field Painting and Lyrical Abstraction and is classified under the genre of abstract art.
“Bullseye” features a vivid interplay of colors and forms, characteristic of Frankenthaler’s work within the Color Field Painting movement. The artwork showcases a central circular shape in a warm orange hue, evocative of its title. Surrounding this focal point are gradients of yellow, merging seamlessly into areas of white. Along the sides, blocks of rich magenta and dark green create contrasting vertical and horizontal elements. Each color appears to bleed or blend into the next, lending a sense of softness and fluidity to the composition. This abstraction emphasizes form and color over representational accuracy, invoking emotional response through its dynamic yet harmonious color scheme.
