“I like the idea that a star can’t be original,” Dana Frankfort comments. “It’s a symbol that anyone can draw and have.” Inspired by Morris Louis and other Color Field painters of the 1950s, who experimented with abstract forms and saturated colors, Frankfort stretches and distorts familiar letters and symbols, emphasizing their structure.
