My Landscape II 1967

Joan Mitchell made 'My Landscape II' with oil on canvas, and looking at it is like diving headfirst into a storm of feelings and memories. The blues and greens are so intense, they almost vibrate, right? You can practically feel the energy she put into each stroke. Notice how the paint isn't just sitting there; it's alive, thick in some spots, thin in others, creating this crazy dance of texture. It's like she's not just painting a landscape, but painting the feeling *of* a landscape. Take a look at that cluster of dark blue at the center. See how it anchors the whole piece, but it also feels like a black hole, pulling you in? The drips and splatters add to the chaos, but they also reveal the process, the raw energy of creation. It’s a bit like looking at the world through Cy Twombly’s eyes, where everything is scribbled, messy, and full of life. What does it say about the art that we keep making and looking at it? Who knows!
