Large Mid-Century Abstract Watercolor Stain Painting, "Mint 2". Watercolor on paper abstract 'stain' painting in soft neutral colors. Titled on verso, "Mint 2", dated 1971. Unsigned.

Stain paintings, a hallmark of mid-20th-century abstract art, involve the technique of pouring or brushing diluted pigment onto unprimed canvas, allowing the paint to soak directly into the fibers and create soft, organic forms. Popularized by artists such as Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis, this method broke with the heavy brushwork of earlier abstract expressionism in favor of a more fluid, luminous aesthetic. The resulting images often feel atmospheric and meditative, with color becoming both form and content. Stain painting emphasizes the material qualities of the canvas itself, blending spontaneity with control, and helped pave the way for the development of Color Field painting and lyrical abstraction.

Size: 48 3/4 x 61 in.
