Joan Mitchell
Biography
Joan Mitchell (1925–1992) emerged among the second generation of Abstract Expressionists in 1950s New York and developed a lifelong practice between the U.S. and France. Drawing on memory, landscape, poetry, and music, she forged a distinctive language of dense chromatic centers and breathing peripheries; by the late 1960s she was based in Vétheuil, working at ambitious scales and in lyrical series [3][4].
