Joan Mitchell: Portrait of an Abstract Painter captures a glimpse of the life of one of the premier abstract painters of the twentieth century. Part of the Abstract Expressionist movement that played itself out in New York's flats and studios, Mitchell's work depicts the passion and wandering of the post world war deconstructionist movement. In the 1950s she moved to Paris and worked alongside Pierre Matisse and Samuel Beckett. There she created experiments in light and color that alluded to fleeting hope against the backdrop of an increasingly industrialized and violent world. The film plays like a slide show of Mitchell's work interspersed with video interviews of the artist, her friends, and her critics. The summary is a poignant tribute to her life that serves as a window into the movements of her day. It's a film for the artist, the historian, or the devoted fan of Mitchell's artistic gift.MORE[EDIT]
