From Booklist

Why wasn't the work of abstract expressionist painter Joan Mitchell (1926-92) fully appreciated during her lifetime? And what goes on in her magnificently energetic and boldly chromatic compositions, works in which chaos seethes against containment, and feeling runs high? Curator and author Livingston, whose last book illuminated the work of Richard Diebenkorn, seeks answers in her vivid portrait of the artist, whom she describes as an "utterly singular, sometimes over-the-top baroque master of oil paint." She briskly chronicles Mitchell's privileged Chicago childhood, passion for literature, and rapid development as a classically trained and abstractly inclined painter. Independent, volatile, outspoken yet "strangely" inarticulate about her work, Mitchell fled New York's intrusive art world for France, where she painted with undiminished conviction in spite of traumatic losses and serious illness. Curator Yvette Y. Lee focuses on key paintings of Mitchell's, while renowned art historian Linda Nochlin offers an acute study of rage and women's paintings in general, and, in particular, Mitchell's compositions, gorgeously reproduced here in vibrant color, observing that "from their brazen refusal of harmonious resolution rises their blazing glory."

From Library Journal

This catalog accompanies the first solo exhibition of the paintings of Joan Mitchell (1926-92) in New York City in over 20 years. (The event will be at the Whitney until the end of this month and then will travel to Birmingham, AL, Forth Worth, TX, and Washington, DC.) Though considered a foremost abstract expressionist, Mitchell disliked being affiliated with the movement and especially objected to being viewed as a woman artist. Using Mitchell's journals and correspondence, Livingston (Richard Avedon, etc.) follows the evolution of Mitchell's painting and discusses her technique, which showed more concern with color than with the integrity of the medium. Taking a feminist approach, Linda Nochlin demonstrates that Mitchell's rage at being viewed as a "feminine other" was transformed into a positive energy that brought emotional intensity to her paintings. And Whitney curator Yvette Lee discusses the "Grand Vall‚e" series of 16 paintings (1983-84) as some of Mitchell's most luminous and lyrical. This book compares well with the first monograph on Mitchell, Judith Bernstock's Joan Mitchell, which also contains high-quality color reproductions and scholarly essays. The Bernstock book, however, focuses more on the artist's paintings in relation to the poetry that she loved. Recommended for all libraries that collect books on art.

Must have book on an abstract expressionist master 27. Januar 2007
Von J. Landau - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This catalog of Joan Mitchell's Whitney exhibit is one of the great bargains among all artist monographs. Superb full color, almost full page plates of a wide range of Mitchell's work over a long period of time, numerous additional photos and snapshots, an in-depth biography of the artist and contributions by multiple authors make this a "must have" text, actually more valued than my collection of numerous Robert Miller Gallery monographs on the artist accumulated over many years. Her work has exploded in popularity over the past five years with good reason and many shows will be forthcoming.

Like Ellen Landau's large-scale monograph on Jackson Pollock, you wonder why a book of this quality is available so inexpensively. Someone must have done too long a print run initially. Take advantage. When you look at the prices of the Kertess or Bernstock monographs on Joan Mitchell, you realize this is a screaming bargain, not to be missed.

A vivid, highly recommended pick 13. April 2003
Von Midwest Book Review - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Joan Mitchell was one of the more notable painters of Abstract Expressionism in the period between 1950-1980, yet her fame has until now been largely restricted to professional circles. The collaborative effort of Jane Livingston, Linda Nochlin, Yvette Lee, Maxwell L. Anderson, Paintings Of Joan Mitchell is published to accompany a major exhibition at the Whitney Museum, and offers full-page color plates of Mitchell's paintings to accompany further insights on her craft and achievements. A vivid, highly recommended pick which stands alone from its exhibit foundations.

The celebration of life and paint in one hand 9. Mai 2007
Von María Marta Rodríguez - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
The painting of Joan Mitchell was for me a discover of an tremendous and excellent painter, almost unknow in my country Argentina. The quality of images, photographs and texts includes on this catalogue dont dissapoint me, in fact, it gave me hope in contemporary paint and help me as a painter.

I recommended this book for any person who love the beauty of color, life and paint, and for painters who want to learn what means the freedom of action and think.

Thank you and excuse my english.
