I was too young to appreciate her art. Today I was at SFMOMA and they exhibited a painting. I think it was "Untitled". It was awesome. Why? because it flows and is electric. The bold brush strokes move as within a gale. I sat and sat and feel fortunate to imbibe something much more than use of color.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340132919581586838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064353933668888339.post-48211725464459051592011-07-12T16:11:58.458-04:002011-07-12T16:11:58.458-04:00I just got a gift certificate for my birthday and ...I just got a gift certificate for my birthday and was looking at the movie about Joan Mitchell on Amazon.ca.

I am a artist and seeing her work I want to try painting abstracts. She was a no bones type of person I got a kick out of her when this reporter was trying to ask her why she painted something because she had too is all.<br />Often a artist that is just that is just jumped into your head and you have to paint it and I think she just did just that. I did not know she had died until I was looking her up so sad the art world will miss her........greeneyedladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880850222533673488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064353933668888339.post-65809906067409408702009-04-26T21:27:00.001-04:002009-04-26T21:27:00.001-04:00Joan Mitchell has been my favorite artist since I ...Joan Mitchell has been my favorite artist since I first saw her work, several years before her death in 1992.<br /><br />You have to try and see the documentary film, 'Joan Mitchell: Portrait of an Abstract Painter' (1992) by Marjorie Cajori.<br /><br />Following is a NY Times review:<br /><br />Cajori's elegant film reflects on the life and art of the late Joan Mitchell.
