Joan Mitchell: Portrait of an Abstract Painter on AllMovie

Cajori's elegant film reflects on the life and art of the late Joan Mitchell. Mitchell is revealed as a pioneering female artist and one of the only women who was part of the Abstract Expressionist circle in New York, which included artists such as Jackson Pollock and Willem De Kooning. Featured at the Toronto Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and Melbourne Film Festival, and awarded the Gold Plaque at the Chicago Film Festival, this documentary is "candid, revealing, insightful...One of the best films on art I have seen," says Judith Wechsler, art historian.
