Something wrong?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.

, It is the first time in my life that I have not been able to do anything. I am in a bad state of mind and I am demoralized, and that influences me.
I never touched Cubism myself, you know, although I was attracted by it one time. When I was painting at Céret and at Cagnes [1919, and from 1923].
Once I saw the village butcher [in his youth, in Russia] slice the neck of a bird and drain the blood out of it.
About this person
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.
