JOAN MITCHELL (1925–1992)
A powerhouse of abstract expressionism, Mitchell’s sweeping brushstrokes and vibrant color fields expressed landscapes of memory, emotion, and movement. Inspired by poetry and nature, she painted with a fierce, lyrical energy that set her apart from her peers. Her work is in MoMA, Centre Pompidou, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation.Quote: "Painting is a way of forgetting oneself."
"I like that feeling of letting go, where the painting becomes something else."
