Description
A dynamic double original color lithograph by Jean-Paul Riopelle, printed in 1974 by the renowned Atelier Mourlot Freres, Paris-one of the most important print studios associated with modern masters including Picasso, Miro, and Chagall.
This work features a double composition, showcasing Riopelle's signature abstract style through layered forms, bold color, and expressive movement. A leading figure in postwar abstraction and the Automatist movement, Riopelle developed a highly distinctive visual language defined by texture, spontaneity, and complex color interaction.
Printed on woven paper, the lithograph reflects the exceptional craftsmanship of the Mourlot presses, with rich tonal depth and painterly qualities that closely echo the artist's original works. The horizontal format (38 x 55.8 cm) enhances its presence and makes it particularly effective as a statement piece within modern interiors or curated art collections.
Balancing energy with structure, this piece offers both historical significance and strong visual impact.
