Helen Frankenthaler is known for Abstract imagery stain painting. When Jackson Pollock first exhibited some of his paintings in 1951, they exerted a great influence on Frankenthaler. Their scale, free graphic rhythms, and color impressed her strongly; but above all she was struck by Pollocks method of dripping paint directly onto the raw canvas, emphasizing both the flatness of the painting and the physical actuality of the support. Carrying this technique still further, Frankenthaler thins her pigment with large amounts of turpentine so that they soak directly through the unprimed cloth and stains it. The resultant image no longer lies on top of the picture plane but is embedded within; the transparent mat colors of varying intensity modulate from light to dark without creating any illusion that they exist in a space other than that of the woven textural surface.
