About the Artist
Born in Chicago, Joan Mitchell was one of the premier figures in the Second-Generation American Abstract Expressionism movement during the early portions of the 20th Century (or the 1900s). Her expansive paintings cover wide areas on a museum's gallery wall, fully immersing viewers in her world. Some of these works include City Landscape (1955), Sunflowers (1991), and No Rain (1976).
About the Movement
Mitchell worked in the Expressionist Age of art. Born in Germany during the start of the 20th Century (or the start of the 1900s), Expressionism was a modern movement of art that sought to provoke ideas, thoughts, and emotions within their art. Developed as an avant-garde (or a style that pushes the mainstream boundaries and goes against the social norm) against the morals of the First World War, Expressionist artists were more abstract in their compositions, leaning more on the expression of emotions and thoughts rather than the realism of figures and objects. Some of the most famous Expressionist artists included Edvard Munch, Paul Klee, and Wassily Kandinsky.
Fun Fact: Mitchell and her works of art are prominently featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, New York.
