Riopelle's style changed gradually from Surrealism to abstract expressionism, in which he used myriad soft cubes of colour, applied as flat planes with a palette knife, on large canvases to create powerful atmospheres.

Famous quotes containing the word work:

    People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.
    Andy Warhol (1928–1987)

    But he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
    And I must be, as he had been,—alone,

    ‘As all must be,’ I said within my heart,
    ‘Whether they work together or apart.’
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Science with its retorts would have put me to sleep; it was the opportunity to be ignorant that I improved. It suggested to me that there was something to be seen if one had eyes. It made a believer of me more than before. I believed that the woods were not tenantless, but choke-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day,—not an empty chamber, in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house,—and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
