by Klaus H. Carl (Author)
Chaim Soutine (1893-1943), the unconventional and controversial painter of Belorussian origin, combines influences of classical European painting with Post-Impressionism and Expressionism. As a member of the 'Artists from Belarus', a group within the Parisian school, he created an oeuvre mainly consisting of landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. His individual style, characterised by displays of humour and despair, and by the use of luminous colours, makes him a modern master who is still little understood.
In this engaging text, established artist biographer Klaus H. Carl explores the difficult life of an artist whose fascinating work owes much to the struggles he faced with enduring determination.
