Joan Mitchell : Woman in Abstraction

Stéphane Ghez

Joan Mitchell was one of the greatest American painters of the post-war era and a figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement. Acclaimed by both critics and the public, her stance enabled her to become one of the few women to establish herself in the abstract art world—a realm then dominated by men. Notably, she was the first woman to hold a solo exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, in 1982.
