In this book, Anne de Staël, the painter's eldest daughter, brings together her childhood memories, augmented by an original reflection on the relationship between drawing and painting .
The moments of life evoked were always mixed with the urgency and intensity of pictorial expression. This is therefore not an analysis by an art historian, but the perspective of a child who grew up with this painting and who, as an adult, sought to unravel the mystery of the creation of which she was partly a witness.
Until now, the link between the line of the drawing – Indian ink, charcoal, graphite – and the density of the color had never been so clearly established.
In a language that is always poetic, the author wanted to show how the work of drawing in the work of Nicolas de Staël underpins color. The painter is indeed one of the greatest colorists of 20th-century painting, and here we discover the importance of his work as a draftsman. The interweaving of blacks and whites also allowed the light at the heart of the pigment to be exalted. In front of a painting, Anne de Staël brings out her memories, a consequence of the aesthetic emotion received. The book is richly illustrated, and the artist's daughter gives us a text that is both poetic and personal, enriched with letters and writings from the painter, allowing us to rediscover the complete works of Nicolas de Staël.
