Visit to Columbus Museum of Art

Helen Frankenthaler's work commands the room. I love the shapes that leave that bit of space between, as if she tore paper (a lot of paper, though) and pasted it down. This is quite large, and raw.

Helen Knew What She Was Doing

Helen Frankenthaler's work "Orange Shapes in Frame" (detailed here) in the deCordova Museum was made in 1964. Her experiment with pouring paint on unsized canvas produced figures unlike any others of her time. Had to stop and take in this large scale work. Always clears the brain.
