Children and Geese (1934)

This painting by Chaim Soutine is at the Milwaukee Art Museum, a gift from Mrs. Harry Lynde Bradley, who left her wonderful extensive art collection to the museum. Harry Lynde Bradley was the co-founder of the Allen-Bradley Company.

 

Chaim Soutine (1894-1943) was a Lithuanian-born Jewish Expressionist painter and a great friend of Amedeo Modigliani whom he met while living in the Montparnasse area of Paris. Soutine produced the majority of his works from 1920 to 1929.

 

I discovered his work in Paris at the Musee de l'Orangerie. I just like his paintings even though the subject matter coulbe a little weird like his famous paintings of beef carcesses.
