Back in her Paris studio, these experiences gave rise to canvases that diverged dramatically from her earlier work, replacing structured compositional frameworks with more experimental, atmospheric forms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCharacterized by dense, central currents of deep greens and blues that veil luminous colors beneath, the paintings of this period pulse with turbulence and lyricism. Poet John Ashbery described them as “an unhurried meditation on bits of landscape and air,” capturing Mitchell’s ability to translate sensation and memory into paint. This catalogue, published on the occasion of the exhibition To define a feeling: Joan Mitchell, 1960–1965 at David Zwirner, New York, explores how these works advanced her approach to structure and color while engaging the enduring themes that define her oeuvre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe volume features an essay by the exhibition curator Sarah Roberts, a text by Saul Nelson on Mitchell’s relationship to the critic Clement Greenberg, and reviews from the 1960s by Ashbery and Pierre Schneider, offering rich historical context for this transformative moment in the artist’s career.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 152 pages | 77 illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e November 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9781644231890\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e29.8 x 24.1 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David Zwirner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57486639858042,"sku":"9781644231890","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/files\/to-define-a-feeling-joan-mitchell-1960-1965-9781644231890-1265195033.jpg?v=1793297232","url":"https:\/\/www.museumbookstore.com\/products\/to-define-a-feeling-joan-mitchell-1960-1965","provider":"Museum Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
