La Grande Vallée VII
Joan Mitchell (1983)
La Grande Vallée VII is a monumental <strong>diptych</strong> in which Joan Mitchell converts a remembered landscape into a charged field of color and motion. Cascades of <strong>blazing yellow</strong>, <strong>leafy green</strong>, and <strong>inky blue</strong> collide across the seam, where drips and slashing strokes keep the surface alive—an arena where <strong>exuberance and elegy</strong> co-exist <sup>[1]</sup><sup>[2]</sup>.
