Published by Fondation Maeght in 1991, this substantial exhibition catalogue was produced to accompany a major retrospective dedicated to Nicolas de Staël, one of the defining figures of post-war European painting. Richly illustrated and thoughtfully edited under the direction of Jean-Louis Prat, the volume reflects Fondation Maeght’s long-standing commitment to documenting the artists who shaped twentieth-century modernism. More than a conventional exhibition record, it serves as a carefully constructed study of de Staël’s practice, bringing together paintings, archival material and critical texts within a publication of notable production quality.
Nicolas de Staël (1914–1955) occupies a singular position in the history of modern art. Working between abstraction and representation, he developed a distinctive painterly language characterised by dense surfaces, luminous colour and an acute sensitivity to structure and space. Produced only a few decades after the artist’s death, this catalogue captures the enduring importance of his work within the context of post-war French art and the School of Paris. Essays by Georges Raillard and Jorge Semprún, together with extensive visual documentation, provide a nuanced perspective on an artist whose influence continues to resonate across contemporary painting.
