The artwork, titled “La Vie en Rose,” was created by Joan Mitchell in 1979. It is an abstract painting executed in oil and belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 280.4 x 681.4 cm, placing it within the genre of abstract art.
The artwork is characterized by its expansive multi-panel format, where an interplay of colors and strokes are evident. The predominant use of soft pinks and whites forms a subtle background which contrasts sharply with the bold, dynamic dark strokes and patches of black and purple. The composition appears free and spontaneous, reflecting the abstract and expressive nature typical of Mitchell’s works. The convergence of the colors and forms creates a sense of movement and depth, inviting the viewer to engage with the piece on an emotional and perceptual level.
