Synopsis

Inspiré par Rembrandt, Chardin et Courbet, Chaïm Soutine a forgé un nouveau langage expressionniste qui fait le pont entre l'histoire de l'art et la modernité en liant la vulnérabilité humaine et les vies en marge de la société. Ses portraits exécutés à larges touches, ses paysages agités et ses célèbres carcasses d'animaux expriment, dans des couleurs vives, un intense appétit de vivre et une profonde aliénation dans un monde incertain. Ce catalogue d'une exposition au Louisiana Museum à Copenhague puis au Kunstmuseum de Berne se concentre sur ses premiers chefs-d'œuvre et séries créés entre 1919 et 1925. Abordant le thème général de l'émigration et de la dislocation, des essais révèlent les traces des origines juives de Soutine dans son travail, éclairent la signification de ses motifs récurrents et montrent les influences de l'art de Soutine jusqu'à nos jours.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

CHAÏM SOUTINE (1893–1943) grew up in a shtetl near Minsk – a youth marked by poverty, religious rigor and social exclusion. In 1913 he arrived in Paris and moved into the artist residence “La Ruche”, the “Beehive”, working alongside artists such as Chagall and Modigliani. Fleeing the Nazis, he died in 1943, but the international attention his work had received since the 1920s continued to have great influence on post-war art, inspiring Abstract Expressionism, new figurative painting as well as contemporary artists.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Themes of exile and alienation in the early work of Soutine.

Inspired by Rembrandt, Chardin and Courbet, Chaïm Soutine forged a new Expressionist idiom that bridged art history and modernity in its articulation of human vulnerability and existence on society's margins. His impasto portraits, executed in broad brushstrokes, his agitated, frenetic landscapes and his famous paintings of slaughtered animals all express, in vivid colors, an intense hunger for life and profound alienation in an uncertain world.

Despite the recognition his work received, Soutine remained an outsider throughout his life, a stranger to the social manners of his adopted home in France. This catalog focuses on his early masterpieces and series created between 1919 and 1925. Addressing the overarching theme of emigration and dislocation, essays reveal the traces of Soutine's Jewish origins in his work; illuminate the significance of his motifs and the metaphorical resonances of his animal carcasses; and show the influences of Soutine's art up to the present day.
