A propos de cet article

Signed and inscribed by contributor Maurice Tuchman on the title page. An excellent volume illustrating the influence of Chaim Soutine on major Abstract Expressionist and "brut" figurative painters Francis Bacon, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Jean Dubuffet. Copious illustrations of each artist's work, often side by side, with rich essays detailing the influences and interests of the painters both on their own and as related to Chaim Soutine as well as one another. Lovely copy. Solid, square, tight binding. Interior bright, clean, free of marks besides the author inscription. A couple of very faint light scratches to rear cover, but altogether without much wear to speak of.

Synopsis

If the contorted imagery and wild brushwork of French Expressionist Chaim Soutine became key features of French modern art in the 1920s, they also exerted a lasting and meaningful influence on many major post-war painters. Willem de Kooning considered Soutine his favorite painter, and Jackson Pollock's late work "Scent" was a homage to the Lithuanian-born painter. Jean Dubuffet's concept of art was affected by Soutine's seemingly untaught and direct manner, and Francis Bacon was dramatically affected by his ability to freely capture the essence of the personage portrayed. Through key paintings, especially those created in the decade after 1918, The Impact of Chaim Soutine reveals not only the seminal power and reverberant originality of this 20th-century artist, but also the depth and expressiveness that his influence added to the art of four of the most important American, French, and British artists.
