Paint & Process: Joan Mitchell
January 20, 2012 § 6 Comments
“Although there is no specific place, nature is more ‘really’ present than in most representational paintings. It is because of the ‘reality’ of the details. The details, shaped like brushstrokes, have committed shapes, and the colors have committed texture, hue, and substance. They are not muddy, which has nothing to do with the presence or absence of browns or grays, but with their being clearly what they are. Miss Mitchell has been attentive to outside nature and her inner experience, and she gives you something real.”
Fairfield Porter on Joan Mitchell. From Reality and the Museum, 1961.

After I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me
when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the same comment.
There has to be an easy method you can remove me from that service?
Cheers!
Great blog you have here but I was curious if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics
talked about here? I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get suggestions from
other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Thank you!
I am really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you
ever run into any web browser compatibility issues?
A number of my blog audience have complained about my blog not working correctly
in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any ideas to help fix
this problem?
