1971 part 2

Dr. David Moos, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the BMA, about todays painting:
 
"As one surveys the enormity of Bonjour Julie, one becomes acutely aware of color, balance, composition, harmony, form and gesture. Everywhere on the surface on the canvas, Mitchell describes her decisions, elaborating a vocabulary of brushstrokes that spans from watery drips to thickened impasto."
