What is the significance of the title 'Barometer' in this 1992 work?
In Barometer (1992), Frankenthaler uses color to suggest atmospheric conditions and emotional weight. The title reflects her interest in the 'pressure' of visual space and the balance of organic forms within a structured landscape.
How does this piece represent Frankenthaler's late-career technique?
By 1992, Frankenthaler had moved beyond her initial 'soak-stain' method to more layered, textural applications. Barometer showcases her ability to blend printmaking precision with the spontaneous, painterly gestures characteristic of late 20th-century lyrical abstraction.
