Description"Bay of Bengal" is a vibrant yet simple painting that Mitchell completed in 1982 three years after his first of many visits to India. The foreground is engulfed by the magnificent sail of the fisherman's boat which billows in the wind. The separation of sea and sky is seamless, truly evoking the vastness of the ocean that Mitchell must have encountered during his time there.On View
