{"product_id":"64995-cham-soutine","title":"Chaim Soutine","description":"Urgent, pressing, intense: Chaïm Soutine’s expressive paintings bear witness to a conflicted emotional state and an existence on the fringes of society. His color-intensive, thickly-layered, and roughly brushed portraits, his wavering landscapes, and his depictions of slaughtered animals testify to an intense hunger for life and, at the same time, a profound sense of alienation in a fluctuating world that offers no stability. Despite all the recognition his work received, Soutine remained an outsider throughout his life, unfamiliar with many of France’s social customs. The catalog focuses on his early masterpieces and series, created between 1919 and 1925: With the common theme of emigration and uprooting, the essays reveal the traces of Soutine’s Jewish background in his painting, illuminate the significance of marginal existences as a motif, and explore the depiction of blood and slaughtered animals as a metaphor. Above all, however, they show the central influences of Soutine’s art up to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is also available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/products\/65383-cham-soutine?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=de8cb6482\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAÏM SOUTINE (1893 – 1943) grew up in a shtetl near Minsk – a youth marked by poverty, religious austerity, and social exclusion. In 1913, he came to Paris and took a studio in \"La Ruche,\" the \"Beehive,\" where numerous artists worked, including Marc Chagall and Amedeo Modigliani. Fleeing the National Socialists, he died in 1943. The international attention his work garnered in the art world since the 1920s continues to resonate today: artists of Abstract Expressionism and New Figuration refer to him, as does contemporary painting.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44977109238024,"sku":"9783775755405","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775755405_c9e5d66b-5783-49a6-979a-c0290fd2ea9d.jpg?v=1745308925","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/64995-cham-soutine","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
