{"product_id":"65383-cham-soutine","title":"Chaïm Soutine","description":"Urgent, pressing, concentrated: Chaïm Soutine's expressive paintings are testimonies to a fractured sense of life and an existence on the fringes of society. His intensely colorful, thickly impastoed, roughly brushed portraits, his swaying landscapes, and his images of slaughtered animals bear witness to an intense hunger for life and, at the same time, a great sense of alienation in a wavering world that offers no stability. Despite all the recognition his work received, Soutine remained an outsider throughout his life, finding many French social customs foreign. The catalog focuses on his early masterpieces and series, created between 1919 and 1925: With the shared theme of emigration and displacement, the essays reveal the traces of Soutine's Jewish heritage in his painting, illuminate the significance of marginal existences as a motif, and the depiction of blood and slaughtered animals as a metaphor. Above all, however, they demonstrate the central influences of Soutine's art right up to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is also available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/products\/64995-cham-soutine?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=57e621ac8\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eGerman\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 scene since the 1920s continues to this day: artists of Abstract Expressionism and New Figuration refer to him, as does contemporary painting.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45526289875208,"sku":"9783775755412","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775755412_5d5aed76-25a6-4710-b3a8-787052856017.jpg?v=1745308919","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/65383-cham-soutine","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
