Description
Joan Mitchell: Paintings 1979-1985 is a significant publication that focuses on a pivotal period in the artist's career. From 1979 to 1985, Mitchell's studio practice flourished as she became immersed in daily life at her property in France. Her work from this period exemplifies nuanced mastery of composition, scale, and color, executed in an increasingly bold palette. The book features numerous paintings, including large-scale abstract works, alongside smaller pieces and archival materials. A new essay by Julie Otsuka provides insight into Mitchell's encounters with the artist's paintings over the years, while a conversation between Mitchell and Yves Michaud offers a fascinating perspective on her practice. Reflections from artists Shinique Smith and Lily Stockman further underscore Mitchell's continued influence on contemporary art. This publication offers a unique opportunity to explore Mitchell's oeuvre in depth, featuring a range of works that showcase her artistic growth and ambition during this period.
