Info

This exhibition will show a brilliant artist, an inquisitor of souls and minds, through approximately 80 paintings, most of which are totally re-discovered works, exhibited for the very first time. Many canvases were restored for this occasion. The ensemble comes from the most important private collections as well as from international museums: French, Japanese, Swiss and American. Through his use of portraiture, Soutine examined the personalities of his chosen sitters. He showed up their quintessential characteristics, and drew out of each of them what no other artist had perceived. He was quite rightly described as an Expressionist, and was the only one to have represented that movement in France, whereas it was the very basis of all the developing movements, be it in Germany and in Austria at the same period. A true visionary, he transcended reality to transform it into an imaginary representation about a century ahead of his time. On the cusp of several movements still in their infancy, he based his art on the most classical and the most illustrious of his fore-runners (Rembrandt, Courbet, Corot, Cézanne….) to become the major precursor of the greatest contemporary artists from Pollock to De Kooning. He was a reference for all of the Cobra movement, as well as for Bacon, whose pictorial powerfulness descends directly from Soutine. Today the Pinacothèque de Paris wants to throw a new light on the works by this essential artist from the start of the 20 th century, thanks to loans shown for the first and, quite probably, the last time. The very well documented catalogue, will provide us with a closer look at all of the essential aspects that make up Soutine’s powerfulness and uniqueness: his links to Judaism, his critical heritage, his triangular relationship with Albert Barnes and Paul Guillaume which led him to fame and fortune, his artistic characteristics, as well as his cultural links with the past and the future, his passion for series like that of Monet, and his powers of anticipation. These many features will totally renew the look cast upon Chaim Soutine’s body of work that Jacqueline Munck, Sophie Krebs, Claudine Gramont and Marc Restellini aim to emphasize.
