La Grande Vallee XIV (For a Little While) 1983

"La Grande Vallee XIV (For a Little While)" is a 1983 abstract expressionist painting by Joan Mitchell. It is a triptych, meaning it is made of three panels, each with its own unique palette of vibrant colors. The work showcases Mitchell's signature gestural brushstrokes, reminiscent of the Impressionist movement. The artwork is on display at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France, and is a prominent example of Mitchell's large-scale, highly textured canvases that capture the energy and emotion of the natural world.
