When the critic Clement Greenberg sent Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland round to see Mountains and Sea in Frankenthaler's studio, they were astonished. "It was as if Morris had been waiting all his life for this information," Noland would say later. What they saw was a way to convey the weightless bloom of color without any apparent thickness of paint: light without texture. (Maybe they could have seen it earlier by looking at Turner's watercolors, but never mind: American taste ran to watercolors the size of Guernica.)

He wears tailored suits and a gold bracelet with STAN spelled in diamonds. His admirers are legion. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it," he says. "One time we were flying in from Europe, and we had 40 minutes to get through Customs at Kennedy and make our next flight. The Customs man said, 'Are you Stan Weinstein? I saw you on Wall...
