The Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris is devoting a major retrospective to a key figure on the post-war French art scene: Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955). The 200 paintings, drawings, engravings and notebooks retrace the successive evolutions of the artist, best known for his figurative works and dark, matte canvases of the 1940s. Visitors will also come across his paintings done on the eve of his untimely death in 1955. Some of these must-see works are shown alongside some fifty others for the first time in a museum in France. For further information, click here.
