Celebrating Joan Mitchell
Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 12:35PM ;)
The Joan Mitchell Foundation has been posting on Facebook wonderful paintings each day of the month of February to celebrate her birthday. Joan Mitchell (February 12, 1925 – October 30, 1992) was a "second generation" abstract expressionist painter and printmaker. She was an essential member of the American Abstract expressionist movement, even though much of her career took place in France. A passionate inner vision guided Joan's brush. Like her peer Cy Twombly, she extended the vocabulary of her Abstract Expressionist forebears. She imbued their painterliness with a compositional and chromatic bravery that defiantly alarms us into grasping their beauty.
