Jean-Paul Riopelle (1923-2002)
Hommage aux Nymphéas - Pavane [Tribute to the Water Lilies - Pavane], 1954

This monumental triptych was first exhibited in Canada in 1963 as part of the artist's retrospective at the National Gallery of Canada, and its title refers to a Spanish dance that originated in the 16th century. The dance incorporates a stately and processional rhythm, which is captured in the energy and movement of this painting.
