Medium: pochoir (after the watercolor). Published for XXe Siecle (No. 12) and printed by Daniel Jacomet in 1959. Sheet size: 12 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches (315 x 235mm); minor handling crease to the bottom right corner. Unsigned. A nice impression in bold, rich color! The artist tragically committed suicide at the peak of his career, and one doesn't see many Nicholas de Stael prints on the market.
XXe Siecle (Chroniques du Jour) was a deluxe art revue that was the source of many outstanding prints. It was published by Gualtieri di San Lazzaro from 1938-1939, and again from 1951 until 1978 (known as the Nouvelle Serie). Many important artists contributed original prints, including Miro, Picasso, Chagall, Braque, Villon, Matta, Indiana, Rosenquist, Lam, Dali, Zao Wou-ki, Matisse, Delaunay, Ernst, Poliakoff, Soulages, Leger, Moore, Kandinsky, Agam, Arp, Calder, Magnelli, Baj, Marini and Vasarely.
Cette lithographie est l'une des estampes originales publiées par la revue XXe Siécle. Ce fut une excellente source d'estampes de maîtres modernes de l'art abstrait, tachisme et l'École de Paris.
