Our next title will be Nicolas de StaeĢˆlā€™s SELECTED LETTERS: 1926-1955, translated by Helen Stevenson and Nico Mann, with a preface by Jean FreĢmon. Available in English for the first time, these letters are taken from the several hundred letters anthologised by French art historian Germain Viatte, published in 2014 by Le bruit du temps. As well as an intriguing investigation of one of the great 20th-century painters, these are also the letters of a writer. From his adolescence onwards, Nicolas de StaeĢˆl developed an incisive style of his own, capturing ā€“ as in his paintings ā€“ the reality of what he saw with the intensity of pure simplicity.
