Little Trip 1969

"Little Trip" is a 1969 painting by Joan Mitchell, a leading figure in Abstract Expressionism, a movement that emerged in the 1940s. This four-panel work exemplifies Mitchell's signature style, characterized by bold, gestural strokes, rich color palettes, and a sense of spontaneity. The painting's vibrant hues, primarily yellow, orange, and red, create a dynamic and energetic composition, evoking a sense of movement and fluidity. Mitchell's abstract works are often seen as reflections of her personal experiences, emotions, and the natural world.
