Anyway, meanwhile, I just noticed this today:
 |
| Joan Mitchell, untitled, 1991 |
 |
| Willem deKooning, 1983 |
I thought the Joan Mitchell piece had a lot of the same feeling of deKooning's late work in its openness and freedom of marks. This imagery seems just as different for her as deKooning's did for his oevre. Maybe we all get to that place in our work as we release our hold on life?
The Joan Mitchell image is from her New York dealer, Cheim & Read, where an exhibition of 13 of Mitchell's works called "Last Paintings" will be shown November 3 - January 4.

Two of my faves.. I have books on both these artists... a constant source of inspiration.
I guessed right on the Joan Mitchell one. Fun seeing these images together.
I think Joan Mitchell is very relevant today...saw that show in NY... all were large oils.... somewhat mixed in impact. Her pastels though -- all that I've seen -- are gourgeous, and show her as one of our best late 20c. artists! >>PHILIP<<
