Notes:
Joan Mitchell's mature works are considered Action Paintings within the Abstract Expressionist movement. Though her work is purely expressionist gestures her inspiration is the landscape. Mitchell's works were included in the Ninth Street Show. In 1959, frustrated by the lack of autonomy within the male-dominated New York art scene, she moved to France. Her she enjoyed the support of her partner and fellow artist, Jean-Paul Riopelle as well as the Paris artworld at large.
