I Love to Have Fun 1 suggests the work of the distinguished 20th-century American artist Joan Mitchell, renowned for her contributions to painting, printmaking, and other paper-based media. This expansive gestural abstract work on canvas is notable for its dynamic brushwork and riot of color. Non-representational marks, lines, and shapes offer a sense of movement while the dense layering of color draws in the viewer. A strong color scheme in cherry red, blush pink, apricot, steel blue, and dandelion gives the work a playful feel.
