Biography
Chaim Soutine was a Jewish artist born in Smilavichy, Belarus in 1894. He was the tenth of eleven children in a poor family. Soutine showed an early interest in art and moved to Paris in 1913 to study at the École des Beaux-Arts. He struggled financially and lived in poverty for many years, but eventually gained recognition for his unique style of expressionism. Soutine's paintings were characterized by their intense colors, distorted forms, and emotional intensity. He often painted still lifes, landscapes, and portraits of people, including many of his friends and fellow artists. Soutine's work was admired by many artists, including Pablo Picasso and Willem de Kooning. He died in Paris in 1943 during the Nazi occupation, and his legacy continues to influence artists today.
