Artwork Details: Artist: After Nicolas de Stael (1914–1955) Title: Sans titre (Untitled), from the album XXe siecle, Nouvelle serie, XXIe Annee, No. 12, Mai-Juin 1959 Medium: Lithograph and pochoir on velin paper Dimensions: 12.5 × 9.75 inches (31.75 × 24.77 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 1959 Publisher: Societe Internationale d'Art XXe siecle, Paris, under the direction of Gualtieri di San Lazzaro, editeur, Paris Printer: Daniel Jacomet et Cie, Paris Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the album XXe siecle, Nouvelle serie, XXIe Annee, No. 12, Mai-Juin 1959, published by Societe Internationale d'Art XXe siecle, Paris About the Publication: Gualtieri di San Lazzaro’s XXe Siecle (Twentieth Century) was one of the most influential art journals of the modern era, founded in Paris in 1938 as a platform for the greatest painters, sculptors, and writers of the 20th century. San Lazzaro—a visionary editor, critic, and champion of modernism—believed that art and literature should coexist as expressions of a shared human imagination. Under his direction, XXe Siecle became a cultural bridge between Europe and the wider world, publishing special issues devoted to leading figures such as Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Braque, Calder, Miro, Kandinsky, and Leger. Each edition combined essays by renowned critics and poets with original lithographs printed by the foremost ateliers of Paris, including Mourlot, Arte, and Bellini, creating a uniquely rich dialogue between text and image. Through XXe Siecle, San Lazzaro preserved the creative spirit of the avant-garde during and after World War II, championing freedom of expression and the evolution of abstraction, Surrealism, and modern thought. Over nearly four decades, the journal shaped international taste and defined the intellectual landscape of postwar art publishing. Today, XXe Siecle remains celebrated for its extraordinary synthesis of art, literature, and design—an enduring testament to Gualtieri di San Lazzaro’s belief that the visual arts are the soul of the modern age. About the Artist: Nicolas de Stael (1914–1955) was a Russian-born French painter whose luminous color harmonies, sculptural impasto, and poetic synthesis of abstraction and figuration made him one of the most important figures of postwar modern art. Known for his thick, layered surfaces of oil paint applied with a palette knife, de Stael transformed pigment into substance and light, creating works that pulse with both emotional depth and architectural precision. Born in St. Petersburg and exiled after the Russian Revolution, he lived in Poland, Belgium, and Morocco before settling in France, where he became immersed in the Parisian avant-garde alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. Influenced by their radical ideas yet fiercely independent in his vision, de Stael absorbed Picasso’s structural reinvention of form, Kandinsky’s spiritual use of color, Miro’s lyrical rhythm, and Duchamp’s conceptual daring, forging a language uniquely his own. His monumental blocks of color and luminous geometric compositions, such as Les Toits (1951), Parc des Princes (1952), and Paysage Mediterraneen (1953), achieve a balance between tension and serenity, embodying his lifelong search for harmony between intellect and emotion. A central figure of the Nouvelle Ecole de Paris (New School of Paris), de Stael sought to restore humanism and lyricism to painting after the devastation of war, capturing the radiance of light and atmosphere through abstraction infused with life. His canvases reveal a meditative balance between solidity and fluidity, each brushstroke a deliberate negotiation between order and chaos. His approach influenced generations of artists including Richard Diebenkorn, Helen Frankenthaler, Sean Scully, Etel Adnan, and Peter Doig, who admired his ability to convey emotion through structure and simplicity. Exhibited internationally during his lifetime and held today in major museum collections such as the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Tate Modern (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg), de Stael’s work continues to define the lyrical edge of abstraction. Standing alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Nicolas de Stael remains a towering modernist whose vision bridged the material and the metaphysical, transforming color into poetry. His highest auction record was achieved by Parc des Princes (1952), which sold for $26.7 million USD at Christie’s, Paris, on October 13, 2011, reaffirming his enduring legacy as one of the most visionary, influential, and collectible painters of the 20th century.
