Oil on canvas, framed. Attributed to Chaim Soutine (1893 - 1943). In this artwork, he encapsulates his affinity for rendering landscapes and buildings with a visceral and almost chaotic energy. The swirling colors and dynamic forms echo the expressive tonality. Signed Soutine on bottom right corner. Label on verso of CHENUE EMBALLEUR with signature "Soutine". 50.8 x 40.6 cm (20" x 16"), framed: 71 x 61 cm (28" x 24"). Soutine’s work is characterized by tumultuous and bold brushwork that brings an intense emotionality to the canvas. His unique perspective as an expatriate Russian Jew living in Paris further enhances the poignancy of his human subjects, landscapes, and still lives. His paintings can be found in esteemed institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Art Institute of Chicago.
