River 1989

Joan Mitchell's 1989 abstract expressionist painting "River" is a vibrant composition of gestural strokes in bold colors like yellow, blue, green, and purple. The swirling forms, suggestive of nature, create a sense of movement and depth, while the drips and splatters contribute to the painting's raw energy. This large-scale work showcases Mitchell's signature style, influenced by Abstract Expressionism and French Impressionism, creating a dynamic and evocative visual experience.
