LE LAGOON SIGNED JOAN MITCHELL
Oil on canvas. “Her works epitomize a shift in abstract expressionism from chance, hazard, and the uncontrolled freedom of the unconscious to a new direction with breath, freshness, and light within a highly structured armature” (P. Schimmel quoted in J. Yau, “Joan Mitchell’s Sixth Sense,” Mitchell Trees, exh. cat., Cheim & Read, New York, 2014, n.p.). With its vibrant palette of electric blue and intense painterly passion, Joan Mitchell’s striking canvas, the current work belongs to a group of significant works demonstrating the artist’s unrivaled skill at producing paintings which evoke the rich emotions of nature and landscape.
