Here is an essay from Linda Nochlin on Joan Mitchell, “A Rage to Paint: Joan Mitchell and the Issue of Femininity”. This is part one - I’ll finish it up next Dispatch with part two.
Joan Mitchell, To the Harbormaster, 1957
Rudy Burckhardt, Joan Mitchell I, 1957
Hans Namuth, Jackson Pollock
Cecil Beaton from Vogue
A quick note about logistics — I imported my contacts for the Substack newsletter from Constant Contact, and for whatever reason, the software only allowed me to import ALL of my contacts, which included even those of you who have previously opted out and unsubscribed. To those of you who fall into this category — my apologies. Please feel free to unsubscribe.
In addition to the weekly Dispatches, I’ll also be sending out an occasional video excerpt from the ongoing teaching that feels particularly relevant.
For those of you new to my newsletter, I’m a painter and teacher, committed to painting as a human depth activity — digging in deep and making it count. Doing something real, whatever that happens to mean to you.
Onward!
Warm regards,
Jordan
