Perspectives 1956

"Perspectives" (1956) by Jean-Paul Riopelle is an abstract oil painting that showcases the artist's signature style of gestural brushstrokes and vibrant color. The artwork, currently housed in the Tate Modern in London, evokes a sense of movement and energy through its bold use of red, blue, white, and black. Riopelle, known for his exploration of “l’informe” (the formless), created a dynamic composition that reflects his interest in spontaneity and emotion. The painting invites viewers to interpret its abstract forms, engaging them in a personal and subjective experience of the artwork.
