1976 part 2


<i>”Joan Mitchell’s Pour Patou (1976), a bold and atmospheric oil on canvas, is another highlight of the exhibition. Mitchell fills the canvas with thick, stubby marks of greens, golds, blues, and black. Mitchell, who also exhibited in the Ninth Street Show and gained entry into the New York School’s circle, lived and painted in the East End during the summers of 1953 and 1954. In 1959, Mitchell moved to Paris and spent much of the rest of her career in France.”
