- Watch abstract painter Stanley Whitney reflect on Joan Mitchell’s fearless career. From New York in the 1960s to current interpretations of the artist’s monumental works, Whitney discusses how Mitchell’s painting can’t be read as right or wrong, beautiful or not beautiful. Instead, he calls attention to the drama of painting and the importance of feeling in working with the medium.

This is great
I like Joan Mitchell because she makes me feel like I could be a good painter
Billy b in your heart You are ThE Best Painter period
great observations. mitchell was in full control, no smears just every stroke was controlled layering of the materials on each other. the big difference between her twombly and pollock. pollock refined his insecurity into a genious act of revolutionary paintings by freeing the material in its last step on the canvas
Joan s paintings pulled you in. They were never boring and never repetitive. Stanley’s paintings are great but his vocabulary is limited. It repeats itself a bit too much.
Perfectly good starts. Again and again, repeatedly. But as soon as she's about to get somewhere, she stops.
Give me Boucher and Fragonard 🤟😆🤘🤠😈🍄😛🧇🥓🍒🥞🤷🏾♂️
and give me good LIFE
Greatest con in history, most abstract painting. Who ya know and how many socialites do they know lol.
Just because abstract art doesn't appeal to you or make you feel anything doesn't make it bad or insignificant & certainly not a con. Most artists never see a penny for their work; it's about expressing feelings in a visual language. People either relate to it or they don't
