Born the 4th of january in Saint - Petersbourg dans died the 16th of marz 1955 in Antibes Nicolas de Staël is a french painter who belongs to the Holstein - Staël family. His career started in 1940 and finished in 1955. During that time he has realised a thousand of paintings influenced by Matisse, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Braque, Soutine. All his life he has refused to be labeled like Braque because his peinting is in constant evolution. In th biginning the colors were very dark but in the end they are very shiny. His style of painting can't be classified in any schools of painting.

Nicolas de Staël "Painting of Ann" (1953)

In the biginning of the fifties everything seems to be good for Nicolas de Staël. His paintings are more colorful and he has concluded an important agreement with Paul Rosenberg a man who owns one of the most important art gallery in New - York. Rosenberg know several important persons who are ready to put a lot of money for buying a lot of his paintings. Nicalos de Staël has founded a new inspiration after listening modern music and jazz. He wants to try to paint the naked persons. For him it's something new but he has falled in love for a woman he has met in 1951.

Nicolas de Staël "Etude de nu" (1952,1953)

Jeanne Mathieu is a married woman and she leaves near the city of Nice. His passion for Jeanne is very high and has many conséquences on his work. For being near Jeanne he rents an appartement in Antibes but lives there without his family. He changes his ways of painting and use pads for applying the colors. He realises a lot of paintings with Jeanne nacked. But the critics don't appreciate his new way of painting and they are sceptical about his naked paintings. Nicolas de Staël falls in a terrible fear and when Jeanne refuses to go to a date he thought that everything was over between them. Two days later he kill himself.
