She worked with lithography, etchings, woodcuts, and screenprints. This work, like many in her oeuvre, was created with an elaborate process using several different printmaking techniques.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrankenthaler's success in the realm of printmaking can be attributed to two frequent characteristics: her restraint and her color choices. Frankenthaler's prints are frequently less gestural than her paintings, realized with a \"lighter hand\" in more cohesive or gentle palettes. She allows shapes, washes, or wisps of color to be the dominant elements in these compositions.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Mary Mary\" is a bold output from Frankenthaler. Based on a painting on the same name, this screenprint and offset lithograph is masterfully composed. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe delicacy of the forms and the diaphanous quality of the color fields are signature Frankenthaler, serving as an excellent example of her passion for printmaking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWhile this piece is unquestionably abstract, it also manifests the sensuality and the tension evocative of her best works.
