Joan Mitchell (1925-1992) was never afraid to experiment, creating works of unparalleled beauty, power, and emotional intensity. Tracing the career of a major artist, this book demonstrates how Mitchell expanded the scope of abstract painting and illuminates the contexts on both sides of the Atlantic that shaped and informed her career. The sumptuous illustrations that accompany this book span her entire career—from the exceptional New York paintings of the early 1950s to the majestic polyptychs she later executed in France. Reproduced here are iconic works by Mitchell, as well as rarely seen paintings, works on paper, sketchbooks, and photographs documenting her life, her circles of friends and acquaintances, and her daily environment. Bringing together previously unpublished texts by art historians and specialists, analyses of works, and testimonies from artists and writers on the artist's career, this book is organized chronologically into ten chapters, each centered on a series of closely related works revealing a constantly evolving inner landscape, colored by experience, sensations, memories, and a profound sense of place. Through the multiple perspectives it opens on Mitchell's art, her biography, and her relationship with poetry and music, this unprecedented work is destined to become the essential reference for those who already admire Joan Mitchell as well as for those who will discover her. This book is published in French on the occasion of the "Joan Mitchell" retrospective presented at the Fondation Louis Vuitton.
