Helen Frankenthaler: Mountains and Sea

Helen Frankenthaler: Mountains and Sea

This work is a perfect example of Frankenthaler’s technique of making pictures entirely by "staining," a process in which she poured thinned paint onto raw, unprimed canvas. This method results in fields of transparent color that seem to float in space, with the weave of the canvas establishing the flatness of the image. Mountains and Sea is located in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.

Jasper Johns: Flag

Jasper Johns: Flag

The forty-eight stars and red-and-white stripes depicted here picture an American flag from the year this work was made. Johns noted that using a recognizable image took care of a great deal for him because he didn’t have to design it. He made this work by combining panels, paint, and encaustic—a mixture of pigment and melted wax that captured the paint’s drips, smears, and brushstrokes. Beneath the flag’s familiar stripes, we can make out a collage of newspaper scraps whose dates locate this commonplace symbol within a particular moment.

The title Christina’s World, courtesy of Wyeth’s wife, indicates that the painting is more a psychological landscape than a portrait, a portrayal of a state of mind rather than a place.

Hannah Höch: Cut with the Kitchen Knife

If we look closely at the cacophony of seemingly random images that make up Hannah Höch’s large-scale photomontage, a cross-section of Weimar Germany’s cultural and political milieu comes into focus. Here, the Kitchen Knife Dada - a metaphor for Höch’s careful slicing and dicing - cuts a swath from the lower right to the upper left, separating Dada and anti-dada elements.
