Item Details
Description
In the manner of Jean Paul Riopelle "Composition" oil on paper circa. 1970, private collection approx. 11x16in. Jean-Paul Riopelle was a Canadian Abstract Expressionist best known for his non-representational landscapes. Riopelle used paint squeezed straight from the tube and liberally applied by a palette knife to craft his dense, large-scale mosaics. Born on October 7, 1923 in Montreal, Canada, Riopelle studied at both the École des Beaux-Arts and the École de Meuble in the city during the 1940s. His instructor, Paul Émile Bourdas, had been a founding member of Les Automatistes—an offshoot of the Surrealist movement. After traveling to Paris in 1947, Riopelle became one of the School of Paris, notably including Joan Mitchell, with whom he lived and worked for almost fifteen years. Since the 1960s, Riopelle created sculpture, lithography, and assemblages, and died on March 12, 2002 in Île-aux-Grues, Canada at the age of 78. He won the UNESCO prize at the 1962 Venice Biennale, and was given retrospectives at the Kölnischer Kunstverein in Cologne in 1958, the Musée du Québec in 1967, and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg in 2006.
