She developed the ”soak-stain” technique, applying thinned paint to unprimed canvas, creating luminous color washes that integrate with the canvas. Her influential work, Mountains and Sea (1952), exemplifies this method. Frankenthaler's innovative approach significantly impacted postwar American art, inspiring artists like Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland.
