Blue Territory: a meditation on the life and art of Joan Mitchell

Fri Feb 5th 7.00pm – 8.30pm

RobinLippincott
“Robin Lippincott’s Blue Territory avoids the tedium of a detailed life chronicle. Instead he delivers a beautiful meditative essay that captures Joan Mitchell’s essence. Mitchell was an immensely innovative and acclaimed painter who was a part of a very male abstract expressionist world. As the world has changed she has gradually overcome some of the under appreciation that comes with being a woman in what was viewed as a man’s environment. Lippincott’s poetic compilation of several moments of Joan’s life, gives us insight into her genius and humanity.”
Pat Greene, curator/director Gallery of Avalon Island
