Unlike many of her contemporaries, who were dubbed "action painters," Joan Mitchell worked slowly and deliberately. "I paint a little," she said. "Then I sit and look at the painting, sometimes for hours. Eventually, the painting tells me what to do."⁣ ⁣ In "City Landscape," Mitchell infused her characteristic tangles of bright color with the energy of a large metropolis. It's as if a brilliant, electrified city is hovering in the distance.

“A city is built to resemble a conscious mind, a network that can calculate, administrate, manufacture. Ruins become the unconscious of a city, it's memory, unknown, darkness, lost lands, and in this truly bring it to life”

― Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

Robert Rauschenberg made a bunch of little personal-sized combines in 1957 and 1958, including this one, Lincoln, which has a pic of the Lincoln Memorial on half of it, and a bunch of stuff glommed onto the other side with paint. But Lincoln also has a painting on the back, a wonky still life of bottles and jugs from someone named Rosen___? which Rauschenberg apparently scavenged and reused for his own work. But wait there's more
