Sunflowers 1991

Joan Mitchell's 1991 abstract painting "Sunflowers" is a vibrant and expressive work, characteristic of her mature style. Mitchell, a major figure in American Abstract Expressionism, was known for her dynamic and gestural brushwork and use of bold color. The painting features a swirling, energetic composition, with thick impasto and drips of paint, suggesting the artist's spontaneous and intuitive approach to painting. Though the title alludes to sunflowers, Mitchell's work is not representational, but rather explores the emotional and psychological qualities of color and form.
