Joan Mitchell Girolata Triptych , 1963 Oil on canvas, 76⅞ × 127⅝ in. Private collection Courtesy the estate of Joan Mitchell
One of the artist’s first three-panel paintings, this work is inspired by the small village of Girolata on the island of Corsica, a remote enclave that Mitchell returned to a number of times as an antidote to her life in Paris. The artist’s color palette and gestural brushstrokes suggest the gentle movement of the trees and flowering plants that perch upon the coastline’s craggy outcrops. —HJ
