Jean-Paul Riopelle (1923-2004)
Abstract impressionist painter and sculptor Jean-Paul Riopelle is widely regarded as the founding father of Canadian contemporary art. He signed the 1948 Refus Global Manifesto.
Riopelle first gained international recognition in Paris during an exhibition of works by the "automatist" group of avant-garde painters, of which painter Paul-Emile Borduas was a leading member. He spent most of his career in France, where he befriended some of the last century's most influential artists.
His works are on display in museums and galleries around the world, from Quebec to the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
