Self Portrait<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chaim Soutine<\/strong> is an expressionist<\/span>\u00a0artist that lived and worked in Paris at the height of the modern era.<\/p>\n

Despite dominant trends toward abstraction, Soutine maintained a firm connection to the recognizable subject matter. His innovation was in the way he chose to represent his subjects: with a thick impasto of paint covering the surface of the canvas, the palette, visible brushwork, and forms translated the artist’s inner torment.<\/p>\n

Still Life with Herrings (1916)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is a lot of symbolism in most of Soutine’s work. For example, here, in Still Life with Herrings,\u00a0<\/em>he made the forks\u00a0look like arms reaching for the skinny fish to represent hunger.\u00a0Soutine suffered great poverty while growing up and constant stomach ulcers that often made eating impossible.<\/p>\n

Woman Entering Water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this painting,\u00a0he confronts his figure head-on, with little distinction between the woman and the water itself. Her dress, skin, and posture are all static while not entirely motionless – much like the water she is entering. Soutine’s\u00a0brushwork drastically flattens the figure and her surroundings, removing the feeling of natural depth.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9ret Landscape<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chaim Soutine was not a fan of the outdoors,\u00a0so he rendered his landscapes with his own brand of anxiety and gloominess, indicated by scenery that seems to shift across the canvas.<\/p>\n
