Jean-Paul Riopelle (1923 - 2002) was a Canadian Abstract Expressionist best known for his non-representational landscapes. Born on October 7, 1923 in Montreal, Canada, Riopelle studied at both the École des Beaux-Arts and the École de Meuble in his hometown during the 1940s. After traveling to Paris in 1947, Riopelle became one of the School of Paris, which also included the American painter Joan Mitchell, with whom he lived and worked for almost fifteen years. Throughout the following decades, Riopelle created sculpture, lithography, and assemblages. Today, his works are held in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Tate Gallery in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, among others.
