Nicolas de Staël Paysage de Vaucluse no 3 1953 He wrote, "I do not ‘objectify’ anything that I see. I do not paint before seeing. I am not looking for anything other than painting ‘visible’ by everyone." He attempted to express his sensations of space and light by creating successive layers of coloured texture. "I need to feel life in front of me and to capture it completely as it enters my eyes and skin."
