Flotilla

about Flotilla

This screenprint is a recreation of a painting of the same name by abstract expressionist artist Helen Frankenthaler.

Flotilla is a small formation of warships, often in a naval context and often part of a larger fleet. Despite the name, there is only one ship visible in the vast seascape Frankenthaler has composed for it. The colors are all skewed; a yellow sky shines above a green sea, flanked by an encroaching blue fog. The print is signed, numbered, and dated in pencil by the artist and framed in a minimal black frame.
