(image) handsigned by the artist in pencil annoted "hc" certificate of authenticity from the album les saisons de saint-cyr-en arthies (the seasons of saint-cyr-en arthies) settling in saint-cyr-en-arthies in the late 1960s, jean-paul riopelle drew lasting inspiration from the val-d'oise landscape. In les hautes grouettes, the village is not described, but suggested: a bell tower, a silhouette, a fleeting presence emerge from the curves of a shape. Between surrealist heritage and lyrical abstraction, riopelle composes a vibrant mosaic where gesture takes precedence. The image is born from a balance between spontaneity and construction, allowing reality to surface in dense and luminous pictorial material.
