Les aigrettes
In 1964, Adrien Maeght created the ARTE printing works located on rue Daguerre, in Paris. From 1966, Jean-Paul Riopelle worked closely with the masters of this printing press, constantly pushing the limits of this medium. According to art historian Michèle Grandbois, Riopelle's artistic approach, in particular with regard to the technique of printmaking, gives him a very particular originality: "His approach to printmaking testifies to invention, audacity and excessiveness that will make him transgress, if not ignore, the traditional rules of the ''beautiful profession'' 1”.
