# Chaim Soutine

> He painted meat and landscapes with such violence of color and stroke that collectors didn't know whether to hang them or hide them. Soutine made Expressionism feel like something clawed from the canvas rather than applied to it.

## Bio

Born in Belarus in 1893, Soutine arrived in Paris and fell in with the School of Paris circle, studying Rembrandt, Chardin, and Courbet like a monk learning scripture. But where the masters pursued likeness, he pursued feeling—shape, color, texture mattered more than what the thing actually was. His canvases twisted and writhed, almost unhinged, yet rooted in the European tradition he revered. That tension between classical discipline and raw emotion made him a hinge figure: too wild for the traditionalists, too devoted to paint itself for the pure abstractionists. He worked through World War II in occupied France and died in Paris in August 1943.
