Description: An insatiable Hunger for Life Clenched raw and of a pressing urgentness: Cha m Soutine's expressive paintings are testimonies to a sense of human vulnerability and an existence on the margins of society. Intensely coloured his meaty impasto portraits are thrown onto the canvas with broad brushstrokes his agitated frenetic landscapes and the paintings of slaughtered animals are expressions of an intense hunger for life and at the same time a deep alienation in an unsteady world that offers no support. Despite the recognition his work received Soutine remained an outsider throughout his life a stranger to the social manners of his adopted home in France. This catalogue focuses on the early masterpieces and series created between 1919 and 1925: Under the overarching theme of emigration and uprooting the contributions reveal the traces of Soutine's Jewish origins in his work illuminate the significance of his motifs from the fringes of society as well as of blood and animal carcasses as metaphors; and show the influences of Soutine's art up to the present day.
