Blue Territory is 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; she is not as well known as her male counterparts because she was a woman and also because she spent most of her working life in France. Still; in 2013; Bloomsburg Business listed Mitchell as the bestselling female artist of all time. When asked to talk about her paintings; Joan Mitchell often responded; ldquo;If I could say it in words; Irsquo;d write a book.rdquo; 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. The book eschews images so as to allow the words to form them; thereby freeing the reader to imagine the paintings; much as Mitchell would have to do before picking up her brush.
