Jean Paul Riopelle Jean-Paul Riopelle (7 October 1923 - 12 March 2002) was a painter and sculptor from Quebec. He studied under Paul-Emile Borduas in the 1940s and was a member of Les Automatistes movement. He was one of the signers of the Refus global manifesto. In 1949 he moved to Paris and continued his career as an artist. In 1969 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada, and began to spend more time in Canada. In 1988 he was made an Officer of the National Order of Quebec and was promoted to Grand Officer in 1994. His paintings fetch a high price, and one result of this has been
a bitter legal dispute over his will between his survivors, pitting
his children against his life partner. Another controversy involved
the disposition of his work La Joute, a public sculpture in Montreal.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h Sitemap famous paintings | famous painters | painting styles | famous artists | mixed media painting | painting technique | oil paintings | canvas painting | life oil painting still | abstract art paintings | modern art work | fine art painting landscape | oil painting reproductions - media | history of paintings | oil painting - idioms | links | review painting articles | review painting news | press release | Kids Costumes | Women costumes |
