For a week in October 1992, Mitchell stayed at Tyler Graphics Ltd. New York to complete a cycle of prints she had started the year prior. During this visit, she was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and the session became a marathon race to the finish.

Printer Susan Hover Oehme recalls, she knew she was dying, and Ken knew she was dying, and we knew she was dying. It was such a weird situation.

It was very sad, and yet she was very pragmatic about it. The Trees , Sunflowers , Weeds and Fields works feature many of Mitchell's favorite natural subjects and are remarkable for their energy and sweeping physicality. With enormous lithographic presses at her disposal, she seized the opportunity to incorporate the full range of her movement in monumental diptychs such as Sunflowers II and Trees IV , the largest prints she ever produced. Another project completed at this time was Poems , a book of eight lithographs illuminating the poetry of Nathan Kernan. When Kernan met Mitchell, he had made hesitant beginnings in writing poetry and was as yet unpublished. Before he knew it, though, Mitchell was reading his work and declaring to all that he was a poet, much to his dismay.

When Tyler approached Mitchell to make an artist book, she was determined to work with a young, unknown poet and chose Kernan. Despite Kernan's protests, Mitchell persisted, saying lets just make something and have fun. The collaboration had a lasting impact on Kernan, who reflected in 2013, There remains something unfinished about our friendship, not least in my feeling that I haven't yet lived up to her belief in me, if thats what it was. When I see her on film her presence rushes forcefully back: her voice, her mannerisms, her vulnerability, her sharp retorts, and I miss Joan terribly. Which consists of eight lithographs illuminating the poetry of Nathan Kernan, with title and colophon pages, paper folio, and cloth-covered box.

The sequence of the book is as follows: paper folio (made of recycled proofs of previous Mitchell prints completed at Tyler Graphics), title page, table of contents,' Joie de vivre',' In time',' Morning',' Cobble Hill',' Mornings on the bridge',' Sky',' Urn burial',' Avenue of poplars' and colophon. Papermaking by Tom Strianese, Jed Marshall and Robert Meyer; prep work for continuous-tone lithography and preparation of toner crayon drawing material by Kenneth Tyler; plate preparation, processing, proofing and edition printing by Lee Funderburg; typography by Emsworth Design Inc. Like Mitchell's complex monumental paintings, these more intimate works on paper (19-1/4 x 14-1/8 inches) convey the artists intensity, her love of color, and her unswerving inspiration in nature. Each is a vivid response to a Kernan poem, with Mitchells passionate gestures and rich palette embracing the carefully placed text. We know that Mitchell was aware of her terminal illness when she made this suite, yet we can feel her enthusiasm for the project, and her joie de vivre.

It is Kernans words that convey her sorrow, and the imminent end of the light she so prized. Joan Mitchell, while having explored printmaking throughout her four-decade career ultimately made relatively few prints. However, Mitchell's prints maintain the complexity, intensity, fluidity of line and abstract marks that have become synonymous with the visual language of her work. Although this print is heavily abstracted, there are strong traces of the natural world, as the title indicates. Dense bands of marks at the top and bottom of the paper can be seen as river banks.

The lightly-worked areas between suggest the water of the river itself. Mitchell is recognized as a principal figure and one of the few female artists in the second generation of American Abstract Expressionists, after the aesthetic breakthroughs of Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline. Her early works are characterized as turbulent and related to personal bereavement. This turbulence is often expressed in opposites: dense versus transparent strokes, warm versus cool palettes, gridded structure versus chaos, and choppy versus continuous brushstrokes. Working for the most part on multiple panels or large-scale canvases, she strived to evince a natural, rather than constructed, rhythm from the composition, which emanated from the expansiveness of her gesture and from her uninhibited use of color.

Mitchell received her BFA and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago before establishing herself as a formidable talent in postwar New York's avant-garde scene. In 1951, her work was exhibited alongside that of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Hans Hoffman in the celebrated. , which marked the ascendancy of Abstract Expressionism within the development of modern art. Exemplifying the ideals of the New York School, Mitchell's paintings wager all on the expressive potential of the painterly mark itself, freed from the constraints of traditional representation.

Given the macho posturing for which the movement's adherents have earned a reputation almost all of them were men Joan Mitchell's prowess in this milieu is all the more remarkable. She has since been the subject of numerous museum exhibitions, and examples of her paintings and editioned prints hang in nearly all major public collections of modern art.

Mitchell left New York and the United States for France in 1959. After spending the better part of a decade in Paris, she relocated to Vétheuil, France in 1968, a town on the Seine about 40 miles north of the capital. There in her studio she embarked upon a body of work whose subject matter derives from the sunflowers and natural beauty that thrive in the golden sunlight of the Seine valley. She would return to this source material periodically throughout the rest of her career.

This series of stamps honored the artistic innovations and achievements of 10 abstract expressionists, a group of artists who revolutionized art during the 1940s and 1950s and moved the U. To the forefront of the international art scene for the first time.
