Soutine, Chaim |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
Soutine, Chaim(born 1893/94?, Smilovichi, near Minsk, Russian Empire—died Aug. 9, 1943, Paris, Fr.) Russian-born French painter. After studying art in Vilnius, he went to Paris in 1913 to study at the École des Beaux-Arts. An art dealer enabled him to paint for three years in southern France, where his mature style emerged. His highly individualistic style, stimulated by Expressionism, is characterized by thick impasto, agitated brushwork, convulsive compositional rhythms, and disturbing psychological content. Best known are his studies of choirboys and cooks, his series of page boys, and his paintings of hung poultry and beef carcasses, which vividly convey the colour and luminosity of putrescence. |

The earlier works are supposedly indebted to Jean Dubuffet, but the influence of Chaim Soutine seems more clearly evident. Heavily influenced by Vincent Van Gogh, Chaim Soutine, and Edvard Munch, Johnson had been working in an Expressionist style. The hellish fiery reds and roiling all-over composition typified by such images as Gansevoort Street may owe as much to the artist's Netherlandish forebear as they do to any Matisse or Soutine. |
