About the Item
With a world auction record of $2.3 million, achieved at Christie's in Paris in 2012, Jean-Paul Riopelle (1923-2002) is arguably the most successful post-war abstract painter from Canada.
While Americans have traditionally favored Jackson Pollock as the most influential Abstract Expressionist of the 20th century, in Europe Riopelle's stature is of competing importance for his version of 'automatic' action painting.
His early canvases were densely intricate webs of constructed color created by using a palette knife. His later work both loosened up and became more structured as he experimented with composition and more specific or limited palettes.
Riopelle would also embrace a range of mediums including works on paper and prints.
While widely recognized for his work across abstraction, Riopelle is known to have experimented with figuration. "Cervidé", which translates to 'deer' in English, serves as a unique example of Riopelle's figuration, drawing inspiration from his appreciation for Quebec wildlife.
With its organic palette of ochre, periwinkle, and crimson, this work almost seems to foreshadow Riopelle's last body of work where he includes figurations that interpret various birds of his native Quebec.
This is a distinctive paradigm of Riopelle's printmaking.
Printed in France, circa 1970 by the legendary Galerie Maeght.

- Rites of Passage IIBy Robert MotherwellLocated in Toronto, OntarioRobert Motherwell (1915-1991), alongside Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning, made up the quartet of American abstract painters that radically defined abstraction and established New York City as the center of the art world for the second half of the 20th century. Motherwell was also the unofficial spokesman of the New York School, writing, teaching and lecturing on behalf of the movement, his fellow artists, and the merits of abstraction. His work appears in museum collections around the world and is instantly recognizable for its boldness and black forms. Yet in addition to his impressive paintings, Motherwell is also revered as a printmaker. He is one of the most innovative and prolific printmakers of the 20th century. He was always searching for new techniques, whether at his own printmaking atelier, or collaborating with others, to expand his ideas and express his aesthetic. This print, along with "El General", was created at Tyler Graphics in 1979. "Rites of Passage II...Category
