JOAN MITCHELL at BMA: Part 2 - The 1950s

As Lauren and I made our way into the Joan Mitchell exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Art we were greeted by some of her earliest canvases from the 1950s. Signage in the exhibit cites her moving to the city (Brooklyn) as much of the inspiration for these early works.
