1990

 
From an article by Phillip Barcio:

<i>When Mitchell moved to a larger studio in the countryside of Vétheuil, she no longer faced the problem of having to roll her painted canvases up to move them. She was able to create large-scale canvases that were painted as thickly as she liked. Yet she still remained more committed than ever to the polyptych format. The combination of working on a massive scale and also creating pictures that spanned multiple canvasses allowed her to accomplish something unique: she was able to construct monumental compositions, while also allowing the viewer to compartmentalize various aspects of the work. This strategy created opportunities for ever-more subjective experiences to emerge from her multi-paneled paintings. </i>
