Chaim Soutine is another of my favorite Jewish artists. Born in Russia in 1893, he emigrated to France in 1913 and took up residence in Montparnasse. His best friend was Amedeo Modigliani, the Italian artist who had reached Paris seven years earlkier. A poor struggling artist obsessed with form and color, Soutine horrified his neighbors keeping a dead animal carcass in his studio so he could paint it. He remained relatively unknown until 1923, when an American visited his studio and bought 60 of his paintings. Soutine died in August of 1943 of a perforated ulcer.

  • la musica es de andres segovia?

  • Probably. I have a huge collection of Spanish and flamenco guitar. It might have been any of them. I love that kind of music!

  • Great job !

    Very well done!

  • I used to have an artist friend in Mexico who painted beautifully, could strum his nose after three gins, and swore by Soutine on everything. Heh, heh. He was Carlos Lopez Ruiz, a Columbian by birth.

  • Modigliani..Soutine..thanks for giving us the opportunity to see these great paintaings.  Both are among my favourite painters.

  • You are very welcome, my friend!

  • Even if his work is ^deformed^ he managed to have it tied with reality, and its alive.

    After him many many tried to do do same and failed. (and made much more money than he ever made).

  • It is so seldom one sees a Soutine. I saw one or two at the Norton Museum in Palm Beach a long time ago. He is just so wonderful. All of the friends to whom I forwarded your slide show love it.

  • エコール・ド・パリの画家達は皆、魅力的で素晴らしい。 up THANX!

  • cual es el titulo de la musica?

  • I've been looking for a book that prints his work, do you know of anywhere I could find something like that?
