Description:
In 1947 Riopelle moved to Paris. During the 1950s, Riopelle developed his well-known, mature style of creating large, color "mosaic" paintings executed with a palette knife and by squeezing colors onto the canvas directly from the tube. The work is three canvas panels framed together (a triptych). (Source: Art Basel [website]; https://www.artbasel .com/)
