Joan Mitchell’s ‘Untitled’

Using the full reach of her arms and often standing on tiptoe, Joan Mitchell approached her canvases with relentless determination. The towering scale of her paintings was tantamount to the limitless of her ambition, particularly in the late 1950s, when she was at the apex of her career.

In the tradition of storied painters such as Sofonisba Anguissola and Artemisia Gentileschi, Mitchell had to fight for the recognition that she was due as a female artist in a male-dominated industry. She succeeded with her forceful yet lyrical form of gestural abstraction grounded in memories of the natural world. Brimming with lush, unfettered hues in a veritable explosion of texture and form, ‘Untitled,’ circa 1959, stands as a best-in-class example, declarative of the artist’s profound mastery of color.
