Ides et Calendres, Switzerland, revised and expanded by Marie du Bouchet and Gustave de Staël, n° 189, p. 209 Exhibition: Nicolas de Staël, Musée Réattu, Arles, June-September 1958, n° 18 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 knife painting. For Nicolas de Staël, although abstract his paintings are 'images of life', his coloured masses generate vibrations. Lastly, this painting has always been kept in private hands until now, and was never presented at auctions.

pieter brueghel the younger
Pieter Brueghel the Younger (Brussels 1564-1638 Antwerp) The Payment of the Tithe or the Village Lawyer, 1622 Oil on panel 78.9 x 123.2 cm Signed and dated: P. BREVGHEL, 1622 Provenance: private collection, Belgium; Galerie Legenhoek, Paris, 1991; private collection, France Literature: Ertz, Klaus, Pieter Brueghel der Jüngere: Die Gemälde mit kritischem Oeuvrekatalog, Lingen, Luca Verlag, Vol. I, 2000, p. 513, cat. E 507, repr.; Curie, Christina, Allart, Dominique, The Brue[H]el Phenomenon, Brussels, Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage, vol. III, p. 1030-1031 This Payment of the Tithe, or The Village Lawyer, is marked by Pieter Brueghel the Younger’s verve, meticulous execution, and vibrant colours. The satirical subject mocks the profession of the lawyer responsible for collecting the heavy tax that the poorest peasants struggled to pay. The grotesque faces of the petitioners, as well as the lawyer’s prognathous jaw - associating him with the Spanish authorities then in power - fascinate through their caricatural force. This original composition by Pieter Brueghel the Younger stimulated the market of the time, generating strong demand. The success of this still-relevant satire has endured to the present day.

Against a deep black background, reds, yellows and whites burst forth with an almost musical intensity. The artist condenses the essence of his language into this work: the spontaneity of gesture, the simplicity of form and the poetry of symbolism. The woman and the bird, emblematic motifs in his work, merge into a space that is both controlled and spontaneous. Created at the end of his life, this composition expresses the supreme freedom of an artist at the height of his powers.

Moreau was influenced by the romanticism of Eugène Delacroix and Théodore Chassériau (his teacher) but focused on the femme fatales and virgins often associated with Symbolist painting. Salome dancing before Herod (1876), one of Moreau's most famous works (fig.2), took the artist seven years to paint, slowly building the rich and encrusted surface of the painting. Moreau was also known for his semi-abstract watercolours, and as a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts, where his students included Albert Marquet, Henri Matisse and Georges Rouault. André Breton considered Moreau an important precursor of Surrealism. In 1876, Gustave Moreau made his triumphant return to the Salon, having not exhibited his work there since 1869. In the intervening years Moreau had remained at his home and studio in Paris and also fought in the Franco-Prussian War, where he had seen the horrors of the War and the Siege of Paris, the sudden fall of the Second Empire and the violence of the Paris Commune and its bloody repression firsthand. An extremely patriotic man, Moreau was deeply shaken by both the speed and brutality of modern warfare and by the savage inhumanity that he felt had lain waste to his ‘noble France,’ and went several years during this period without painting anything. By the mid-1870s, an idealist bent had begun to creep back into the artist’s work, which he intended to represent and inspire a rebirth, both spiritual and moral, in France. The triumph of Bacchus, painted by Gustave Moreau during this same period of optimism and idealism, represented no smaller idea for the artist than this very rebirth.
