At his death, Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955) left behind a considerable work - thousands of paintings, drawings and prints -, and his figure was rapidly surrounded by a legendary aura. An uncompromising and passionate worker, the painter impressed the post-Second-War art by the brilliance of a ten-year creation. From abstract tangles in the middle of the 1940s to smooth flat areas in his last two years, his trajectory led him to renew without respite motifs, space, light, colours, volumes and lines.
This richly illustrated monograph retraces the biography of this emblematic artist and the formal evolution of his work, by replacing him in the context of his time.
