Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
A Russian Jewish expressionist portrait, still life and landscape
painter, Chaim Soutine lived most of his life in France, especially
Paris and the district of Montparnasse. His "work is
characterized by its distortions both of space and of subject matter,
violence of colour and brush-stroke, making the painting a whirlwind of
movement." (Phaidon)
He achieved public recognition during his lifetime, but was plagued
with self-doubt about his work, especially color and form, (showing 500 of 4665 characters). |
