ARTFULLY AWEAR + PANTONE: Emerald.


After a brief hiatus, I'm back with my latest Artfully Awear + Pantone post, featuring the Color of the Year: Emerald.
Emerald has always been one of my personal favorite colors, and is surprisingly flattering with almost any skin tone. The hue is also well represented in the work of Helen Frankenthaler.


Her oversized canvases, though seemingly abstract, were often inspired by landscapes, such as her most famous work, Mountains and Sea, which measures 7 feet by 10 feet.


One of the few female artists recognized alongside the group of second generation Abstract Expressionists, Frankenthaler (1928-2011) was a Color Field painter.


The thin veils of paint that make up her paintings are reminiscent of watercolors, even though they are actually oils. Her "soak stain" method of thinning oil paint and applying to unprimed canvas was adopted by other artists including Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland.

Two of my favorite posts of all time are inspired by Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland.


Color Field painting was different from Abstract Expressionism in its denial of emotional or mythical themes.


"You have to know how to use the accident, how to recognise it, how to control it, and ways to eliminate it so that the whole surface looks felt and born all at once". --Helen Frankenthaler

  4. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit
    more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.

    However imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!

    Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could
    undeniably be one of the greatest in its field. Terrific blog!
