Helen Frankenthaler — Midnight, from Broome Street Series
Helen Frankenthaler

Midnight, from Broome Street Series

A masterful example of Frankenthaler's lyrical approach to printmaking, *Midnight* from the Broome Street Series employs drypoint and aquatint in colors to evoke the deep, mysterious atmosphere suggested by its title. The rich, velvety tones achieved through aquatint pool and blend across the Magnani paper, reflecting the same fluid spontaneity that defined her celebrated poured paintings. Printed with full margins, the composition breathes within the page, allowing the colors to resonate with quiet intensity.
