Donald
Mitchell's early work consisted primarily of obsessively crosshatched fields of lines or
brush strokes that obliterated the ground and hid the underlying image. A few years ago a
change began in Donald's responsiveness to his environment and he started to uncover the
faces and forms buried in the darkness. Soon the work began to be filled by figures, one
by one until the pages are covered with sometimes dozens of mysterious creatures. Donald
Mitchell is the subject of an artist monograph written by the American Folk Art Museum in
New York. A touring exhibition will accompany the book launch.
