Clenched, raw and pressingly urgent: Chaïm Soutine’s vivid paintings are testimonies to a sense of human vulnerability and an existence on the margins of society. Intensely colored, his meaty impasto portraits are thrown onto the canvas with broad brushstrokes, while his agitated, frenetic landscapes and paintings of slaughtered animals are expressions of an intense hunger for life and, at the same time, a deep alienation in an unsteady world that offers no support. Despite the recognition his work received, Soutine remained an outsider throughout his life, a stranger to the social manners of his adopted home in France. This catalogue focuses on the early masterpieces and series he created between 1919 and 1925: Under the overarching theme of emigration and uprooting, the contributions reveal the traces of Soutine’s Jewish origins in his work, illuminating the significance of his motifs from the fringes of society as well as of blood and animal carcasses as metaphors; and show the influences of Soutine’s art up to the present day.

CHAÏM SOUTINE (1893 – 1943) grew up in a shtetl near Minsk – a youth marked by poverty, religious rigor and social exclusion. In 1913 he arrived in Paris and moved into the artist residence “La Ruche” (the “Beehive”), working alongside artists such as Chagall and Modigliani. Fleeing the Nazis, he died in 1943, but the international attention his work had received since the 1920s continued to have great influence on post-war art, inspiring Abstract Expressionism, new figurative painting as well as contemporary artists.

Quality and service is what sets us apart.

Theodore Art Books pays a lot of attention to the packaging of books. I try to keep a balance between sturdiness, durability and aesthetics. First and foremost, an art book should be delivered to the customer in excellent condition. At the same time, the amount of packaging material is kept down to a minimum. You won’t find unnecessarily large boxes or abundant filling material with Theodore Art Books. If possible, I even reuse packaging material. Finally,  I aim to wrap neatly. After all, a beautiful book deserves attractive packaging


Theodore Art Books attaches great importance to good service. Contact me with questions, requests or in the unexpected event of a problem, and I will answer as quickly as possible. So that nothing stands between you and the pleasure of a beautiful art book.
