Nicolas de Staël embodies like no other the divide between the need to create and the torment of existing. Stéphane Lambert gives Nicolas de Staël a voice during a night of intense inner turmoil, which saw him return, at the wheel of his car, from Paris to Antibes, where he was to commit suicide a week later after completing his last work, The Concert. Then, facing this same painting at the Picasso Museum in Antibes, he returns to the painter's life, his visionary fever, and his solitude, which give the work its vigorous mystery and the artist his tragic fragility.
