ART VISION TV / C&B Films (January 13, 2024) – The Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris is devoting a major retrospective to Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955), a French painter of Russian origin known for his use of a thick impasto and his highly abstract landscape painting. He was a key figure on the post-war French art scene.

Twenty years after the one organised by the Centre Pompidou in 2003, this exhibition offers a fresh look at the artist’s work, drawing on more recent thematic exhibitions that have highlighted certain little-known aspects of his career (Antibes in 2014, Le Havre in 2014, Aix-en-Provence in 2018).
