Abstract Expressionism, the art movement born in the energetic post-World War II New York art scene, has long been the domain of icons like Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko. Their work, bursting with authentic emotion with their liberated form, became synonymous with the expressive spirit of the mid-twentieth century post-war era. However, this history neglects a substantial cohort of female artists. Therefore, Helen Frankenthaler’s recent exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi in Italy is more than just a retrospective; it’s a progressive narrative reminding us that the art world has a long history of confinement within the rigid perimeters of its male-dominated past.
