Doug Varone and Dancers

Joan Mitchel and Doug Varone have poetry in their art.

ReComposed

In Joan Mitchell painting memories, images, and movement are re-emerging in color and shape, just like Varone dancers

Sheer body suits

The dancer's skin shows through the fabric. The transparency turns into groups of dancers that fill the space.

Colored backgrounds

Dancers play with a synthetic arrangement, which adds and subtracts from a whole. It is like Joan mitchell's canvases before and after the paint moves from an idea to something tactile.

This is a quiet dance like a flicker in a candle light

Posession

The relationship between the dancers is close, barely touching, and then they seperate

"a short burst of mangenta strikes a note too high..." -Kraus Keress

This is another moment that was really spectacular. It was as iff the dancer was holding onto something thing - the impetus energy was about to explode in a vibrating motion.

The change in style is noticably different from Joan Mitchell's paintings in 1960 than1980. The nature of painting is described as a veiled poem in the "Fresh Air School" exhibition of Sam Francis, Joan Mitchell, and Walasse Ting. -1972 Carnegie Institute Museum of art
