Favorite Artists: Chaim Soutine

Chaim Soutine is another of my favorite Jewish artists. Born in Russia in 1893, he emigrated to France in 1913 and took up residence in Montparnasse. His best friend was Amedeo Modigliani, the Italian artist who had reached Paris seven years earlkier. A poor struggling artist obsessed with form and color, Soutine horrified his neighbors keeping a dead animal carcass in his studio so he could paint it. He remained relatively unknown until 1923, when an American visited his studio and bought 60 of his paintings. Soutine died in August of 1943 of a perforated ulcer.
