I consider both artists to operate at a type of controlled chaos. However‚ I find that Frankenthaler used more control in her painting method where she carefully applied colors to certain spaces.

Abstraction exists along a continuum. Even art that aims for verisimilitude of the highest degree can be said to be abstract‚ at least theoretically‚ since perfect
