The year 1949 was a crucial period for Nicolas de Staël: he continued to explore and refine his style, marking an important transition towards painting that would become more fluid and expressive.
Among his notable works this year is this "Composition", which reflects his continued use of thick layers of paint and his extensive play with materials, moving from impasto to painting knife
For Nicolas de Staël, although abstract his paintings are “images of life”, his colored masses generate vibrations that enchant the viewer.
Last, we have to mention that this painting has been preserved in private hands until now
