Joan Mitchell has been a touchstone
for generations of painters. These, her last works, show the
transcendence achieved by the artist over the challenges of age, illness
and the fashions of the art world. Having begun her career in New York
in the late 1940s Mitchell was an integral part of the New York School,
and a member of the historic Artists' Club. Moving to France in 1959
and eventually to Vétheuil (out side Paris) in 1967, the artist came
under the influence of her environment, and the inspiration of artists
like Monet, Cézanne and Van Gogh, while her paintings also became more
emblematic of nature.
