The legacy of painter Joan Mitchell (American, 1925 - 1992) is one of a formidable creative force. Her work forged a pathway into the nearly impenetrable male-dominated abstract expressionist circles of the 1950s. She garnered critical acclaim and success, as she distinguished herself from her contemporaries through compositions that vibrate with energy and color. From painting, to drawings, to prints, her work elegantly synthesizes landscape, with memory, poetry, and music while retaining the intimacy and emotive potential of the abstractionist movement.
