While I was researching Thursday’s post on ArtPrize, I discovered Joan Mitchell. Wikipedia’s description says it all…“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. Her paintings and editioned prints can be seen in major museums and collections across America and Europe.”
When my husband saw the photo of her painting “The River” he immediately handed me the paper with an aside…”I think you will like this.” He knows me VERY well.
Head on over to Google Images for a visual treat of color and composition.
