Grandes Carrières

Joan Mitchell · 1961-62

You're looking at Grandes Carrières — a painting by the American artist Joan Mitchell, nineteen sixty-one to nineteen sixty-two. Mitchell was part of the abstract expressionism movement. Oil on canvas — pigment ground into a slow-drying oil, which is what lets a painter go back into wet paint for days.
