Joan Mitchell was one of the preeminent painters of the Abstract Expressionist episode in American art. During the prime decades of her career, the 1950s through the 1980s, she produced a body of ambitious, lyrical, and often bravura oil paintings which rank with those achieved by her mentors, Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline. It is the ambition of The Paintings of Joan Mitchell to introduce Mitchell's life and work to a far wider audience than has ever been exposed to her contribution.
Despite several museum exhibitions in the United States and Europe, including a show organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1974, Mitchell has remained a figure revered primarily in an almost cult-like atmosphere. This mystique was cultivated by artists in New York and Paris and by the poets and writers who were her friends, including Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, and James Schuyler. Perhaps the two most important men in Mitchell's life were her first husband, the renowned publisher Barney Rosset, and the powerful French-Canadian painter Jean-Paul Riopelle. These and other relationships influenced her significantly and are explored in this volume.
The Paintings of Joan Mitchell is published on the occasion of a major exhibition of Mitchell's work at the Whitney Museum of American Art, mounted ten years after her death. It is perhaps only now that we are able to tell her story both as an artist and as a brilliant, complex, and sometimes turbulent woman. Many aspects of Mitchell's career that have been virtually unknown to the American audience are revealed here from different perspectives by authors Jane Livingston, Linda Nochlin, and Yvette Y. Lee. These texts, together with many previously unpublished images, offer a riveting narrative and a powerful visual experience.
