　　“Gee, Joan, if only you were French and male and dead.” —New

York art dealer to Joan Mitchell, the 1950s

She was a steel heiress from the Midwest—Chicago and Lake Forest

(her grandfather built Chicago’s bridges and worked for Andrew

Carnegie). She was a daughter of the American

Revolution—Anglo-Saxon, Republican, Episcopalian.

She was tough, disciplined, courageous, dazzling, and went up

against the masculine art world at its most entrenched, made her

way in it, and disproved their notion that women couldn’t

paint.

Joan Mitchell is the first full-scale biography of the abstract

expressionist painte***ho came of age in the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s;

a portrait of an outrageous artist and her struggling artist world,

painters *** thei***ay in the second part of America’s twentieth

century.

As a young girl she was a champion figure skater, and though she

lacked balance and coordination, accomplished one athletic triumph

after another, until giving up competitive skating to become a

painter.

Mitchell saw people and things in color; color and emotion were

the same to her. She said, “I use the past to make my pic[tures]

and I want all of it and even you and me in candlelight on the

train and every ‘lover’ I’ve ever had—every friend—nothing closed

out. It’s all part of me and I want to confront it and sleep with

it—the dreams—and paint it.”

He***ork had an unerring sense of formal rectitude, daring, and

discipline, as well as delicacy, grace, and awkwardness.

Mitchell exuded a young, smoky, tough glamour and was thought of

as “***y as hell.”

Albers writes about how Mitchell married her girlhood pal, Barnet

Rosset, Jr.—scion of a financie***ho was head of Chicago’s

Metropolitan Trust and partner of Jimmy Roosevelt. Rosset went on

to buy Grove Press in 1951, at Mitchell’s urging, and to publish

Henry Miller, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, Jack Kerouac, Allen

Ginsberg, et al., *** Grove into the great avant-garde

publishing house of its time.

Mitchell’s life was messy and reckless: in New York and East

Hampton carousing with de Kooning, Frank O’Hara, James Schuyler,

Jane Freilicher, Franz Kline, Helen Frankenthaler, and others;

going to clambakes, cocktail parties, softball games—and living an

entirely different existence in Paris and Vétheuil.

Mitchell’s inner life embraced a world beyond her own craft,

especially li***ture . . . her compositi*** were informed by

imagined landscapes or feelings about places.

In Joan Mitchell, Patricia Albers brilliantly rec***tructs the

painter’s large and impassioned life: her growing prominence as an

artist; her marriage and affairs; her friendships with poets and

painters; her extraordinary work.

Joan Mitchell re-creates the times, the people, and he***orlds

from the 1920s through the 1990s and brings it all spectacularly to

life
