lady painter, my ass What a mess she made of her life: a brilliant, ambitious, hardworking painter who poisoned herself with booze, tirades, jealousy, awful taste in men, infidelities, and stupid professional mishaps. It's all there in this bio, a whole lifetime of it, and it's painful to read.But there's no question she was one of our greatest painters. I think that's now generally ackno. "A Painter's life and times" according to Kcolorado. Last year I read the big DeKooning biography and the similarities of their lives is inescapable.

"Patricia Albers has written a book about Mitchell that I cannot imagine will ever be improved upon, so graceful and incisive is her account of the artist's hellbent life and lyric art."(New York Times)"Like Mitchell's vast canvases, Albers's impressive book ought to be experienced in the morning, 'for it can animate the entire day.'"

(Los Angeles Times) "Electrifying .Patricia Albers emulates Mitchell’s painterly mission to conjoin "accuracy and intensity" in this transfixing and justly revealing portrait." —Booklist (starred) "Patricia Albers vividly chronicles the artist’s journey from her wealthy upbringing in Chicago to her defiant student days at Smith College, and as a young painter at the Art Institute of ChicagoVibrantly written and carefully researchedAlbers constructs a fluid, energetic narrative of Mitchell’s complicated life and work."—Publishers Weekly
