About this listen

A poetic immersion into the life and art of Joan Mitchell, the great American abstract expressionist painter.

A contemporary of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, Joan Mitchell is not as well-known as her male counterparts, not only because she was a woman, but also because she spent most of her working life in France. Still, in 2013, Bloomberg listed Mitchell as the best-selling female artist of all time.

When asked to talk about her paintings, Joan Mitchell often responded, "If I could say it in words, I'd write a book." Here is her book. At once unique and universal, Blue Territory is at its core an exploration of love and life, and what it means to love - and live - what you do. Meticulously researched and lyrically written, it will appeal to anyone interested in passionate engagement with the world.

this book is really engaging and it gives you an amazing inside of Joan's process. The narrator does a great job at adding depth to the words, they are profound and poetic but OMG. she pronounces white, while, wheet in the most annoying way. 🤣 just a heads up.

WH pronunciation pet peeve.

I really liked this reading and the narrated does a very nice job of setting forth the poetic content and context of this work. I have listened to it three times and will be listening again. It’s like a visit with the subject ❤️

Really worth the listen!

I am on my third listen to this divine interpretation of Joan’s life. I have such an expanded view of her as a human. Not sure if the authors took artistic license, but it brought her to life!

This is a good book! Without dragging through pages of dry brush the author keeps the story moving and gives a wonderful overview of this painter's journey. The readers voice is clear and on target. I listened twice and will do so again. Now, with an understanding of Joan Mitchell, I appreciate her paintings all the more. Thank You.
