1,500 Words: Linder

‘There is something powerful about a woman who is capable of caring about style and substance, embodying beauty and expressing a beastly kind of anger.’ Philippa Snow reflects on the lasting influence of the artist’s feminist photomontages.

Festschrift: Joan Mitchell

‘Some strokes are lucky, some are unlucky; Mitchell paints over the unlucky ones, and then keeps going through this sea of unknowing that is making a painting.’ Four writers and artists celebrate the life and bold artistic practice of the late American painter.
