Nicolas de Staël réalise au cours d'une carrière fulgurante, entre 1942 et 1955, l'une des productions artistiques les plus libres et reconnues de l'après-guerre. Après une période abstraite, il évolue, au moment du triomphe des abstractions, vers une peinture qui renoue avec le réel, la nature et le paysage, dépassant l'oppostion apparente entre abstraction et figuration. Le paysage, pour Staël, ce n'est pas le pittoresque ou la description fidèle d'un site, mais avant tout la lumière et l'espace, les éléments. Il réalise des études peintes sur le motif, dessine également, à l'encre ou au feutre, à l'occasion de ses voyages, puis reprend les thèmes à l'atelier, dans un renouvellement formel continu, évoluant de peintures à la matière épaisse à des fluidités presque transparentes. Gentilly, Mantes-la-Jolie, Honfleur, Villerville, Dieppe, Calais, Dunkerque, ou Gravelines au Nord ; Le Lavandou, Lagnes, Ménerbes, Marseille, Uzès, Antibes, ou la Sicile au Sud sont ces lieux de choix et de circonstances traversés par la vision de ce "nomade de la lumière".

* An unusual biography of Picasso through his dogs, richly illustrated with reproductions of his works and archive photographs. The first volume in a series about artists and their dogs In 1933, Virginia Woolf wrote a biography of the poet Elisabeth Barret Browning, told in the first person by her cocker spaniel, Flush. In 1936, to write her memoirs, All the dogs of my life, Elisabeth von Arnim chose to tell the story of the 14 dogs that had accompanied her throughout her life. In 1957, the dachshund Lump arrived at the home of Pablo Picasso, whose life he shared until 1973. This book charts Picasso's intimate family life, with Jacqueline, Claude and Paloma, and with the animals that populate the villa La Californie, as well as his artistic life. Inspired by these references, this collection (whose title is a nod to Picasso and Lump) takes a look at the lives and works of the great artists and art lovers of the 20th and 21st centuries from the perspective of their relationship with the "dogs of their lives". These lighthearted, erudite books offer a unique approach to the life and work of Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Peggy Guggenheim and Yves Saint Laurent...

DES FALAISES

In 1946, when Picasso received the offer to use one of the great rooms in the castle at Antibes as a studio, he exclaimed enthusiastically: “I'm not only going to paint, I'll decorate the museum too.” The result was a series of paintings and drawings that reflected the jubilant spirit, the joie de vivre, of a country that was free once more. Picasso later added sculptures, graphic works, and ceramics to this collection, forming the basis for what would be France's first museum dedicated to him, inaugurated in 1966 as Musée Picasso, Antibes.This catalog, published in conjunction with the exhibition of Palazzo Grassi, comprises a great selection of the most outstanding works from the Musée Picasso of Antibes, a large number of which have never been shown beyond the museum's walls. These include the murals La Joie de Vivre, 1946, The Sea Urchin Eater, 1946, and the impressive sculpture Head of Woman with Chignon, 1932. Featuring paintings, drawings, sculptures, and ceramics, the works illustrate a splendid period in Picasso's artistic career. The volume also includes a selection of photographs of Picasso by Polish artist Michel Sima, which portray the context in which Picasso created the works.
