Overlapping with Age of Armor will be the first and only exhibition in America to examine the complex inspiration that the American artist Joan Mitchell found in the paintings of the French artist Claude Monet. Monet/Mitchell: Painting the French Landscape is presented in partnership with the Fondation Louis Vuitton and the Musée Marmottan Monet.
The exhibition follows the development of Mitchell’s work from 1968 until 1992, when Mitchell lived in Vétheuil, France, overlooking a house once inhabited by Monet. Both artists painted the same landscape and addressed similar themes of trees, earth, water, and flowers as well as the inspiration of their own gardens. The exhibition also shows how Mitchell’s compositional formats, vibrant color, and gestural brushwork took inspiration from Monet’s.
Monet/Mitchell will present 24 paintings, 12 by each artist. Often monumental in scale and overwhelming in impact, these works highlight the fascination both painters had for expansive, panoramic formats. The exhibition will feature a robust schedule of community and educational programs along with special opportunities for visitors to engage deeply with the works on view, exploring the restorative and meditative potential of these beautiful paintings.
