"La Grande Vallee XIX Yves" typifies Joan Mitchell's work with its vibrant color and vigorous brush stroke. Her energetic and expressive painting provides us with emotional punch through color and form. Mitchell is concerned with the impact of color and line without subject matter. The viewer's response is therefore more direct - the color and paint application convey a mood to the viewer. This strictly emotional reaction allows the viewer to insert his/her own associations and imagination into the picture.
