French Catalogue Joan Mitchell Retrospective

Description

Catalogue of the exhibition "Joan Mitchell Retrospective", first part of the exhibition "Monet - Mitchell", held at the Fondation Louis Vuitton from October 5th, 2022 to February 27th, 2022.

The illustrations in this book cover Joan Mitchell's entire career - from the New York paintings of the early 1950s to the polyptychs she later executed in France. Iconic works by Mitchell are reproduced here, as well as rarely seen paintings, works on paper, sketchbooks, and photographs documenting her life, her circles of friends and acquaintances, and her everyday environment. Bringing together previously unpublished texts by art historians and scholars, analyses of the works, and testimonies from artists and writers on the artist's itinerary, this book is organized chronologically into ten chapters, each focusing on a series of closely related works that reveal an ever-evolving inner landscape, colored by experience, sensation, memory, and a profound sense of place.
