"Cypress" (1980) by Joan Mitchell on display at the "Painting From Nature" exhibition at Espace Louis Vuitton in Beijing, June 6, 2025. Two black oblong shapes emerge from a horizon-like divide between panels, echoing Van Gogh's "Wheatfield with Crows." Interweaving yellow and purple tones form a composition at once spontaneous and precise, capturing Mitchell's emotional response to landscape through her signature gestural abstraction.
