Description:
Estate of Joan Mitchell. A member of the second generation of Abstract Expressionists (with Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Francis, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland and others) American artist Joan Mitchell left New York for France in the 1950s. In the late 1960s, her work took on new scale and ambition when she settled in Vétheuil, in Normandy. The works of this period propose a synthesis between the reserve of European painting and the powerful energies of American Expressionism.
