A print originates from the 1974 edition of Derriere Le Miroir #208 by Jean-Paul Riopelle, limited edition of 150 copies. Derrière Le Miroir was a publication that ran from 1946 to 1982, featuring prints by the era’s most celebrated Modernists. Produced by Galerie Maeght in Paris, the publication was dedicated to making art widely accessible at a time when many exiled artists and creative thinkers had just returned to France at the end of World War II.
Jean-Paul Riopelle (1923-2002) was a Canadian painter and sculptor known for his association with the abstract expressionist movement. Born in Montreal, he was a member of the influential group of artists known as Les Automatistes, who practiced a form of spontaneous, automatic drawing and painting.
