Savage Breeze
<p><em>Savage Breez</em> frustrated Frankenthaler more than any other print she produced at U.L.A.E. She recalled:<br><em>Savage Breeze</em> went dead like a lead balloon. So after many tries, I finally said, let’s scratch it. I was almost exasperated. I couldn’t get the light I desired. I knew the drawing was right. I knew the scale was right. Then I thought—why don’t we whitewash the paper first and then print the other colors I’d mixed over it. We did. And it glowed.</p>
