Joan Mitchell Biography

(b Chicago, 12 Feb 1926; d Paris, 30 Oct 1992). American painter. She studied at Smith College in Northampton, MA, from 1942 to 1944, and then at the Art Institute of Chicago (1944–9) and at Columbia University in New York (1950). From 1950 to 1955, when she had a studio on St Mark’s Place, in the heart of Greenwich Village in New York, she was part of a close-knit community of abstract painters and was profoundly influenced by Abstract Expressionism, especially by the work of Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky and Franz Kline. However much she was affected by their work, however, her aim was less to express emotional states than to convey her experience of landscape, as in City Landscape (1955; Chicago, IL, A. Inst.).
