Lot Essay

'De Stael... was a master at reducing things to essentials and his painting is never rhetorical or overloaded. Being a very fine painter, as well as a painter who loved broad effects, he could manage with a few carefully chosen shapes and subtle tonalities... to convey an extraordinarily full visual experience' (D. Cooper, Nicolas de Staèl, London 1961, p. 73).
