Noon
Joan Mitchell (1969)
Painted in 1969, Joan Mitchell’s <strong>Noon</strong> is a monumental oil whose blazing oranges, ultramarines, and ragged whites condense the glare and density of midday into gesture. A central <strong>mint-turquoise clearing</strong> is ringed by stacked blocks of orange and navy, while drips and dragged impasto stage a volatile equilibrium between dazzle and depth <sup>[1]</sup><sup>[2]</sup>.
