Description:
|
A large triptych of three panels (all 155 cm height, but widths of 1424, 1247, and 1368 cm each). The work is a narrative sequence of 30 paintings (sections) forming a triptych more than 40 meters in length. It is in a sense Riopelle’s legacy work, which he began in his studio on Île-aux-Oies in November 1992 after learning of the death in Paris of his former companion, the American painter Joan Mitchell (1926-1992). The title of this piece comes from the anecdote according to which Riopelle, when they were together, called Mitchell his “Rosa Malheur” (“Rosa Misfortune”), a reference to Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899), a brilliant painter of animals whose last name means “good fortune”. Rosa was also the first name of the German Communist Party activist Rosa Luxemburg, who was famous for her coded prison letters.
