Summary: What if color could be the painting? At a time when girls were taught to color inside the lines, Helen Frankenthaler liked to break the rules. She let her colors dance and swirl, running free on her canvas. Each color was a reminder of a memory or an emotion. She became a leading artist of the Abstract Expressionist movement of the 1950s and is widely credited with launching what became known as Color Field painting. Dancing Through Fields of Color explores the early life of Helen Frankenthaler and inspires children to pick up their paintbrushes and see color - and the world in their own beautiful way.
