Chaïm Soutine (13 January 1893 – 9 August 1943) was a Russian-French painter of Jewish origin.[1] Soutine made a major contribution to the expressionist movement while living in Paris.
Inspired by classic painting in the European tradition, exemplified by the works of RembrandtChardin[2] and Courbet, Soutine developed an individual style more concerned with shape, color, and texture over representation, which served as a bridge between more traditional approaches and the developing form of Abstract Expressionism.
