A series of paintings entitled “Football Players” modifies Nicolas de Staël’s way of painting by relying on the canvas, making him worry about how to represent a present experience which “has trouble” taking shape. This pictorial turning point can be interpreted as the translation of adolescent tension that is trying to stay as close as possible to the vital form of experience and which finds itself erased as soon as it has taken shape.
