Elevate Your Correspondence with Helen Frankenthaler’s "Break Through" (1956)
Immerse yourself in the pioneering spirit of American Abstract Expressionism with this premium pack of 10 postcards featuring Helen Frankenthaler’s iconic 1956 masterpiece, "Break Through." As a seminal figure in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Color Field painting, Frankenthaler’s work is characterized by its ethereal fluidity and luminous depth. At RedKalion, we have captured every subtle wash and vibrant hue of this historic work using state-of-the-art reproduction techniques.
The Artistry of the Soak-Stain Technique
In "Break Through," Frankenthaler utilizes her signature "soak-stain" technique—thinning oil paint with turpentine to create translucent washes that merge with the fibers of the substrate. This creates an atmospheric transparency that remains one of the most influential developments in 20th-century art. These postcards serve as a tribute to her innovation, allowing you to share a piece of museum-quality history with friends or display them as a curated mini-gallery in your own space.
