I carry my landscapes around with me focuses on American abstract
artist Joan Mitchell's large-scale multipanel works from the 1960s
through the 1990s. Mitchell's exploration of the possibilities
afforded by combining two to five large canvases allowed her to
simultaneously create continuity and rupture, while opening up a
panoramic expanse referencing landscapes or the memory of
landscapes. Mitchell established a singular approach to abstraction
over the course of her career. Her inventive reinterpretation of
the traditional figure-ground relationship and synesthetic use of
color set her apart from her peers, resulting in intuitively
constructed and emotionally charged compositions that alternately
evoke individuals, observations, places, and points in time. Art
critic John Yau lauded her paintings as "one of the towering
achievements of the postwar period." Published on the occasion of
the eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner New York in 2019, this
book offers a unique opportunity to explore the range of scale and
formal experimentation of this innovative area of Mitchell's
extensive body of work. It not only features reproductions of each
painting in this selection as a whole, but also numerous details
that allow an intimate understanding of the surface texture and
brushwork. In the complementing essays, Suzanne Hudson examines
boundaries, borders, and edges in Mitchell's multipanel paintings,
beginning with her first work of this kind, The Bridge (1956),
considering them as both physical and conceptual objects; Robert
Slifkin discusses the dynamics of repetition and energy in the
artist's paintings, in relation to works by Monet and Willem de
Kooning, among others.
