I hope everyone is well. I love seeing all your art! Don't forget that I ask you do one activity at week at minimum. This can be the doodle of the day, the challenge of the week, or reading about the piece of art. Feel free to come to art as many days a week as you would like though for fun. I will have a new post for you each day. [email protected] What do you see? What do you think is happening? What do you wonder?
Where would you hang this in your house? Would you want to hang it in your house? From the AIC: Although influenced by Abstract Expressionist artists in New York in the early 1950s, Joan Mitchell did not prioritize self-expression: her often exuberant abstractions were “about landscape, not about me,” she once explained. Mitchell painted large, light-filled canvases animated by loosely applied skeins of bright color—here infused with the energy of a large metropolis. In City Landscape, a tangle of various colors—pale pink, scarlet, mustard, sienna, and black—evoke the streets of a bustling metropolis. The spontaneous energy conveyed in the composition is at odds with Mitchell’s slow and deliberate process. Unlike many of her contemporaries, who were dubbed “action painters,” Mitchell worked slowly and deliberately. “I paint a little,” she said. “Then I sit and look at the painting, sometimes for hours. Eventually, the painting tells me what to do.”
