This is the first comprehensive survey of Joan Mitchells works on paper. Mitchell called herself a visual painter, to distinguish her work from that survey of the Pop, Minimal and Conceptual painters of her own and younger generations. Drawing on remembered images of landscape that she carried with her , Mitchell was not content to make pretty abstractions but challenged herself and the viewer with paintings that sometimes could seem deliberately provocative, pushing the limits of her own sense of beauty. As a non-ironic, dyed-in-the-wool abstractexpressionist, she worked in an idiom that was well established when she began, and was subsequently considered passé by some, as was painting itself. In this sense, her achievement has rightly been compared to that of Soutine and late Bonnard, artists who also did not innovate formally but found greatness by working within an existing painterly language and using it to explore and expand personal territory. Joan Mitchell was a’ Second Generation’ Abstract Expressionist painter. Along with Lee Krasner, Grace Hartigan, and Helen Frankenthaler she was one of her era’s few female painters to gain critical and public acclaim. Mitchell received her BFA and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago before establishing herself as a formidable talent in postwar New York’s avant-garde scene. In 1951, her work was exhibited alongside that of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Hans Hoffman in the celebrated. , which marked the ascendancy of Abstract Expressionism within the development of modern art. Exemplifying the ideals of the New York School, Mitchell’s paintings wager all on the expressive potential of the painterly mark itself, freed from the constraints of traditional representation. Given the macho posturing for which the movement’s adherents have earned a reputation almost all of them were men Joan Mitchell’s prowess in this milieu is all the more remarkable. She has since been the subject of numerous museum exhibitions, and examples of her paintings and editioned prints hang in nearly all major public collections of modern art. Mitchell left New York and the United States for France in 1959. After spending the better part of a decade in Paris, she relocated to Vétheuil, France in 1968, a town on the Seine about 40 miles north of the capital. There in her studio she embarked upon a body of work whose subject matter derives from the sunflowers and natural beauty that thrive in the golden sunlight of the Seine valley. She would return to this source material periodically throughout the rest of her career. This series of stamps honors the artistic innovations and achievements of 10 abstract expressionists, a group of artists who revolutionized art during the 1940s and 1950s and moved the U. To the forefront of the international art scene for the first time. The stamps went on sale March 11, 2010. SELECT RECENT SOLO EXHIBITIONS.
