One could compare them to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: the same combined talents, the same crazy ambitions and the same ebullient temperaments. Joan Mitchell and Jean Paul Riopelle were a creative couple whose lives are the stuff of legend and whose works, often influenced by each other, have marked their time. One day, Riopelle wrote to her: "Tonight, I made a Mitchell. I have become your pupil, you are my mistress."
