Color etching with aquatint, signed and numbered in pencil. Published by Maeght Editeur, Paris, and printed by Arte Adrien Maeght, Paris. Joan Mitchell’s Sunflower III (1972) is an etching and aquatint that translates her painterly language into printmaking with remarkable intensity. Dense, gestural marks and layered textures build a turbulent composition, where earthy browns, ochres, and a vivid yellow form suggest the presence of a sunflower without defining it explicitly. The surface feels active and tactile, with scratches, splatters, and washes conveying movement and emotion. Published by Maeght Éditeur and printed by Arte Adrien Maeght in Paris in an edition of 75, the work reflects Mitchell’s engagement with nature as a source of memory and sensation rather than direct representation.

What is action painting?
Action Painting is a style of painting where the physical act of creating art—such as gestural brushstrokes, splashing or dripping paint, or moving and dancing while applying paint—is considered essential to the artwork itself. This approach emphasizes the artist's movement and spontaneity as integral to the creative process.
