The red is there, vibrant like a sea where instruments float. We drown in it, we lose ourselves in it.
The Concert, Nicolas de Staël's final work, unfinished, gives up none of its mystery.
The work stands out, astonishes, by its size, by its style, by this incandescent red which fascinates.
Why this red? Why this return to the figurative? Why, how, did a man in the prime of life, at the height of his glory, choose to end his days?
Throughout his life, from the little prince of Saint Petersburg fleeing the violence of the Russian Revolution to the luminous shores of the Mediterranean; from the orphaned child to the painter madly in love, De Staël questions.
Thirsty for the absolute, always striving for the perfection of his art, he lived passionately, desperately, going from one place to another, from one woman to another, to end his life on this captivating red. Like a high point.
