Nicolas de Staël was twenty-three years old when he discovered Morocco, where he traveled from 1936 to 1937. Brought together here for the first time are a text written for a magazine, Les Gueux de l'Atlas , various letters to his loved ones in which the hopes and wanderings of a very young man can be read, and his notebook with vibrant notes and drawings.
In Marrakech, Fez or Telouet, he fell in love with the Berber population, praised "their natural grace", their blue clothes which "seem to be part of the sky".
As Marie du Bouchet points out in her presentation, "it is a profound feeling of life that is expressed in these pages, an eye that already perceives all the depths of light."
