America's preeminent 2nd generation abstract expressionist, Joan Mitchell, is  having an amazing 2022 year with a major retrospective at the San Francisco  and  Baltimore Museums of art, which  then moved to the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, shown alongside Monet's impressionist paintings. Mitchell settled in Paris in 1959 and  for the rest of her life in the countryside overlooking Monet's property.

 

Her abstract paintings are often expressions of profound feelings and inspiration from landscapes. Her later works contain multilayered intricately linear strokes and  can display wildly controlled chaos.  Her seductive palette of purples, burgundies, blues, and oranges enhance the abstraction.  

Mitchell  has also  had two shows recently in Manhattan Galleries and was  included in two gallery exhibitions honoring the Martha Jackson gallery, which represented her in the 1960's (where i worked at the time).
