Joan Mitchell
American · b. 1925

Mitchell's large scale gestural acrylics and oils share the same expressive brushwork, deep cool blue palettes punctuated by warm amber and gold, and emotional abstraction rooted in memory and landscape that defines Shadow of the Past.

Cecily Brown
British · b. 1969

Brown creates large scale emotionally charged paintings that combine gestural abstraction with flickering warm and cool tonal contrasts, producing a similarly nocturnal moody atmosphere with architectural and figurative fragments dissolving into painterly fields.

Wolf Kahn
American · b. 1927

Kahn built his practice around the dramatic tension between warm luminous amber and gold tones against deep cool blue and cobalt fields, creating contemplative large scale canvases with a similar warm cool contrast and introspective urban atmospheric mood.
