About the Artist: Nicolas de Stael (1914–1955) was a Russian-born French painter whose luminous color harmonies, sculptural impasto, and poetic synthesis of abstraction and figuration made him one of the most important figures of postwar modern art. Known for his thick, layered surfaces of oil paint applied with a palette knife, de Stael transformed pigment into substance and light, creating works that pulse with both emotional depth and architectural precision. Born in St. Petersburg and exiled after the Russian Revolution, he lived in Poland, Belgium, and Morocco before settling in France, where he became immersed in the Parisian avant-garde alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. Influenced by their radical ideas yet fiercely independent in his vision, de Stael absorbed Picasso’s structural reinvention of form, Kandinsky’s spiritual use of color, Miro’s lyrical rhythm, and Duchamp’s conceptual daring, forging a language uniquely his own. His monumental blocks of color and luminous geometric compositions, such as Les Toits (1951), Parc des Princes (1952), and Paysage Mediterraneen (1953), achieve a balance between tension and serenity, embodying his lifelong search for harmony between intellect and emotion. A central figure of the Nouvelle Ecole de Paris (New School of Paris), de Stael sought to restore humanism and lyricism to painting after the devastation of war, capturing the radiance of light and atmosphere through abstraction infused with life. His canvases reveal a meditative balance between solidity and fluidity, each brushstroke a deliberate negotiation between order and chaos. His approach influenced generations of artists including Richard Diebenkorn, Helen Frankenthaler, Sean Scully, Etel Adnan, and Peter Doig, who admired his ability to convey emotion through structure and simplicity. Exhibited internationally during his lifetime and held today in major museum collections such as the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Tate Modern (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg), de Stael’s work continues to define the lyrical edge of abstraction. Standing alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Nicolas de Stael remains a towering modernist whose vision bridged the material and the metaphysical, transforming color into poetry. His highest auction record was achieved by Parc des Princes (1952), which sold for $26.7 million USD at Christie’s, Paris, on October 13, 2011, reaffirming his enduring legacy as one of the most visionary, influential, and collectible painters of the 20th century.
