Mitchell explained: 'The Grande Vallée was a place where [Barreau] played with her cousin when they were children...and she told me he said to her, 'If we could only return to the Grande Vallée once again.'⠀ .⠀ Here through her masterful chromatic brushwork, Mitchell celebrates this serene place with canvases that capture both a sense of place and the emotions associated with it.⠀ .⠀ Joan Mitchell (1925-1992), 'La Grande Vallée VII', 1983.⠀ .⠀ Property from An Important Private American Collection⠀ .⠀ ONE — 10 July, New York.⠀ .⠀ #art #artwork #artist #joanmitchell #painting #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #grandvallee #christiesone」6月18日 7時38分
