Nicolas de Staël: 50 Curated PaintingsNicolas de Staël was a Russian-born French painter known for his powerful use of colour, thick impasto, and a distinctive balance between abstraction and representation. Born in Saint Petersburg in 1914, he settled in France and developed a deeply personal style influenced by artists such as Paul Cézanne and Georges Braque. His paintings are built from bold blocks of colour, often applied with a palette knife, creating surfaces that feel both solid and luminous. Moving fluidly between abstraction and landscape, still life, and figure painting, he reduced forms to their essentials while retaining emotional intensity. Though his career was brief, his work remains one of the most compelling contributions to twentieth century European art.Nicolas de Staël: 50 Curated Paintings presents a carefully selected collection of his work, offering a focused view of his powerful visual language and artistic legacy. Part of the My Private Art Gallery series, this volume presents de Staël’s paintings with careful digital restoration and a thoughtful gallery style format.
