Sunflower III 1969

"Sunflower III" is an abstract expressionist painting created by Joan Mitchell in 1969. This large-scale oil on canvas artwork, measuring 285.9 x 199.4 cm, is characterized by Mitchell’s signature energetic brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The painting's title suggests a subject, but the work is ultimately a non-representational exploration of color, texture, and form. Mitchell's bold use of color and gestural marks evoke a sense of movement and energy, reflecting her personal experiences and emotions.
