"While artistic movements, some of them originating in Paris, made waves throughout Europe – Cubism, Futurism, Dada and Surrealism – Soutine remained relatively unimpressed by these ramifications of modernism and instead cultivated a distinctive, highly intense painting of his own, informed with an unprecedented degree of profound and palpable emotion. His pictures are freighted with the tension of collapsing perspective and hyperbolically distorted figuration, reinforced by a powerful, gestural brushstroke. The revolutionary potential inherent in this painting exerted an influence well into the 20th-century and was a seminal force in the work of artists like Francis Bacon or Willem de Kooning.
Paradoxically, Soutine is as much a visionary as he is a traditionalist: he was quite indifferent to one of the greatest achievements of modernism, the freedom of subject matter; he maintained an unwavering, lifelong devotion to the triad of still life, landscape and portrait. There is, in fact, not a single subject in Soutine’s art for which one could not find a 17th-century model. It almost seems as if art historically sanctioned genres afforded him the security that he needed in order to venture into uncharted territory as a painter."

The Musée de l'Orangerie is an art gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings located in the west corner of the Tuileries Gardens next to the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Though most famous for being the permanent home for eight Water Lilies murals by Claude Monet, the museum also contains works by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, Alfred Sisley, Chaim Soutine, and Maurice Utrillo, among others.
According to the museum's website, the Orangerie was originally built in 1852 by the architect Firmin Bourgeois and completed by his successor, Ludovico Visconti, to shelter the orange trees of the garden of the Tuileries. Used by the Third Republic in the nineteenth century as deposit for goods, an examination room, and place of lodging for mobilized soldiers, it also served to house sporting, musical, and patriotic events. Additionally, it was a place to display exhibitions of industry, animals, plants, as well as rare displays of painting.

Chardin's influence on the art of the modern era was wide-ranging, and has been well-documented. Edouard Manet's Boy Blowing Bubbles and the still lifes of Paul Cézanne are equally indebted to their predecessor. He was one of Henri Matisse's most admired painters; as an art student Matisse made copies of four Chardin paintings in the Louvre. Chaim Soutine's still lifes looked to Chardin for inspiration, as did the paintings of Georges Braque. In 1999 Lucian Freud painted and etched several copies after The Young Schoolmistress (National Gallery, London)

TWORKOV, JACK (1900–1982), U.S. educator, printmaker, painter. Tworkov was born in Biala, Poland and immigrated to the U.S. in 1913. He studied at Columbia University, the National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League. Tworkov worked as an artist for the Works Project Administration's Federal Art Project in 1935, where he met Willem de Kooning. Both men emerged as forces in the Abstract Expressionist movement. Tworkov was also one of the founders of The Club, a loose New York association of Abstract Expressionists which met to discuss matters relating to art making. Like many other Abstract Expressionists, Tworkov's early work consisted of figures and still-lifes. He also rendered images in a cubist style before adopting the visual aspects of Abstract Expressionism. As to be expected, his early work shared many stylistic characteristics with that of de Kooning. As Tworkov gained eminence along with his colleagues in the New York School representational subject matter became subsumed in abundantly textured long, dashing, diagonal brush strokes, as in his painting Blue Note from 1959. Among other influences, Tworkov also turned to the art of the marginalized Expressionist painter Chaim Soutine as a source of inspiration; in fact, Tworkov wrote an article on Soutine during the latter's 1950 show at MOMA. Tworkov achieved the illusion of vibrating and multiple fields or screens of color from a cool, restricted palette and subtle nuances of tone. Likely influenced by the Minimalists, Tworkov integrated grids and other ordering systems into his images from the 1960s onward, such as Shield (1961) and Variables II (1964–65). One of his major series of paintings, House of the Sun, refers to Ulysses, whose epic adventures suggested a variety of themes to the artist. Tworkov taught at numerous institutions: the American University, Black Mountain College (other luminaries of this period such as John Cage, Franz Kline, and Lyonel Feininger also taught here during the 1940s), Queens College, the Pratt Institute, and Yale University, where he functioned as chairman of the art department. He was a recipient of a Corcoran Gold Medal in 1963. Tworkov's art has been exhibited at numerous major museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Pennsylvania Academy, and the Whitney Museum, among other venues. His work is in the collections of the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art.

Oil Paint and Collage on Board

This painting shows the midsection of an overweight lady. Her body is recreated here in a somewhat gross manner, inspired by the meat paintings by Chaim Soutine and portraits by Jenny Saville. Within her skin there are etched and cut-out words, which represent the labels associated with overweight people. The letters are cut out of McDonalds packaging to further reinforce this bipolar relationship with food - that on one side, the marketing, appearance and taste is seductive and makes you feel good, but afterwards you are overwhelmed by guilt and feelings of negative body image.
La font de la plaça dels nous raigs a Ceret
La fontaine des 9 jets
Erigée en 1313 sous le règne du roi Sanç I de Majorque, cette fontaine originale par ses 9 jets est le symbole d'un territoire marqué par les révoltes : au 15e siècle, le roi Ferdinand II d'Aragon couronne la fontaine d'un lion emblème de la Castille.
Après l'annexion de la Catalogne du nord à la France, on inscrit sur son socle la phrase : "Venite Ceretens, leo factus est gallus" (Venez Cérétans, le lion s'est fait coq) et pour renforcer l'emprise française sur la population locale, la tête du lion est tournée vers le royaume de France.
Depuis peu, après des péripéties de "féria", le lion a retrouvé son regard originel vers les terres du sud.
Sur cette place ont été étudiés les termes du Traité des Pyrénées (1659)
Classé Monument Historique
Ceret (nom oficial francès, Céret) és la vila i municipi capital del Vallespir, a la Catalunya Nord. El seu terme està en part al pla, a uns 175 metres sobre el nivell del mar, i en part a 1.400 metres d'alt.
Administrativament, és el cap de la sots-prefectura de Ceret, al departament dels Pirineus Orientals, dins la regió del Llenguadoc-Rosselló, a França.
La ciutat és coneguda per les estades de grans pintors i escultors: el 1910 s'hi establí Manolo Hugué, amic de Pablo Picasso, el qual hi va estar el 1911, i més tard s'hi va unir Georges Braque, i el poeta Max Jacob. Del 1911 al 1914 Picasso hi va pintar moltes obres cubistes. Pel mateix temps també varen estar a la vila Juan Gris i Auguste Herbin.[2] El 1919 els lituans Chaïm Soutine i Pinchus Krémegne, expressionistes, i el cubista André Masson. Més tard, Marc Chagall, Raoul Dufy, Albert Marquet i Jean Cocteau. El 1950 Pierre Brune, instal·lat a Ceret des del 1916, hi va fundar el Museu d'Art Modern, al qual Picasso i Matisse van donar diverses obres. El 1953, Picasso va tornar a Céret, i va donar al museu més obres. El 1983 hi va anar a pintar Antoni Tàpies i se li va dedicar una sala del museu. El 1990 es va portar a Ceret un llenç de Picasso del període blau (el Retrat de Corina Pere Romeu).
Els ceretans tenen el sobrenom de “els sac-i-corda”. A més a Ceret se la coneix popularment com a la capital de la cirera.
Com a llocs d'interès destaquen la Font Freda, l'ermita de Sant Ferriol, el Museu d'Art Modern i Casa del Patrimoni Françoise Claustre, el pont vell (o pont del Diable) i el nou, sobre el Tec; el convent dels Caputxins, les portes de França i d'Espanya, dos castells (el de la plaça i el Castellàs, dalt del turó) i l'església de Sant Pere.
La font dels 9 raigs
Erigida en 1313 sota el regnat del rei Sanç I de Mallorca, aquesta font original pels seus 9 raigs és el símbol d'un territori marcat per les revlotes : al segle 15, el rei Ferran II d'Aragó corona la font d'un lleó emblema de Castilla.
Desprès de l'annexió de la catalunya del Nord a França, s'inscriu en el seu sòcol la frase : "Venite Ceretens, leo factus est gallus" (Vingeu Ceretans, el lleó s'ha fet gall) i, per reforçar la influència francesa sobre la població, el lleó fou capgirat i reorientat cap a França.
Des de fa poc, desprès de peripècies de "Feria"el lleó ha retrobat la seva mirada original cap a las terres del sud.
Sobre aquesta plaça han estat estudiats els termes del Tractat dels Pirineus (1659).

Theo van Rysselberghe
Belgian, 1862-1926
Courtesy of the Kirkland Family
Belgian artist Theo van Rysselberghe first
encountered the works of the Post-Impressionist
Pointillists at the eighth Impressionist exhibition
in Paris in 1886. He embraced their disciplined
technique of painting with regular dots ·of pure
color, but in this work, he exhibits an emotional
connection to his subject and uses a freer
composition than some of his fellow French artists.
The museum's landscape by Van Rysselberghe is on

Pissarro to Picasso: Masterworks on Loan from the Kirkland Family Collection
Thanks to the generosity of the Kirkland family of Los Angeles, visitors to the Portland Art Museum will be able to enjoy fourteen art treasures from the family’s collection, many of which have not been publicly displayed for decades. The works span nearly a century, from the monumental 1887 canvas of Jamaica by Martin Johnson Heade, to Marc Chagall’s 1975 The Betrothed, these works follow the revolutionary changes in art in Europe and the United States. Two still lifes by Pablo Picasso trace the shift from the astonishing 1912 debut of cubism with La Glace (bowl of ice cream) to its mature form in 1938.
The landscape form transmutes from Heade’s highly detailed canvas to Claude Monet’s light-filled Impressionist masterpiece Banks of the Seine River near Vétheuil, to Chaim Soutine’s blood-red expressionist 1918 Southern Landscape. Also included are rare landscapes by Henri Matisse and Georgia O’Keeffe, and a stunning scene of lovers floating in the night sky by Chagall based on stories in Thousand and One Nights. The Portland Art Museum is grateful to be able to exhibit these artworks during the Monet to Matisse: French Moderns exhibition, providing a number of provocative parallels to the treasures on loan this summer from the Brooklyn Museum.

Huile sur toile, 60 x 73 cm, 1924-1925, Moma, New York.
Soutine se rend à Paris en 1913 pour poursuivre une carrière de peintre. Là, il se lie d'amitié avec d'autres artistes juifs russes, tels que Marc Chagall et Amedeo Modigliani. N'adhèrant pas à un style particulier, il s'intéresse au travail expressif du Greco, de Vincent van Gogh et des Fauves. Mieux connu pour ses figures dramatiques et ses natures mortes, l'artiste a également réalisé des paysages. De 1923 à 1925, il séjourne dans les Hauts de Cagnes, sur la Côte d'Azur, où il réalise cette toile. La palette de bleu, de vert et d'ocre suggère ici l'atmosphère sereine de la région, tandis que le pinceau tourbillonnant et énergique donne au village une qualité déformée et palpitante (cf. Moma).

Soutine was born Chaim Sutin, in Smilavichy near Minsk, (modern day) Belarus (then part of the Russian Empire). He was the tenth of eleven children. From 1910 to 1913 he studied in Vilnius at the Vilna Academy of Fine Arts. In 1913, with his friends Pinchus Kremegne (1890–1981) and Michel Kikoine (1892–1968), he emigrated to Paris, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts under Fernand Cormon. He soon developed a highly personal vision and painting technique.
Self Portrait, 1918, Henry and Rose Pearlman Collection, on long-term loan to the Princeton University Art Museum
For a time, he and his friends lived at La Ruche, a residence for struggling artists in Montparnasse where he became friends with Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920). Modigliani painted Soutine's portrait several times, most famously in 1917, on a door of an apartment belonging to Léopold Zborowski (1889–1932), who was their art dealer. Zborowski supported Soutine through World War I, taking the struggling artist with him to Nice to escape the German invasion of Paris.
After the war Paul Guillaume, a highly influential art dealer, began to champion Soutine's work. In 1923, in a showing arranged by Guillaume, the prominent American collector Albert C. Barnes (1872–1951), bought 60 of Soutine's paintings on the spot. Soutine, who had been virtually penniless in his years in Paris, immediately took the money, ran into the street, hailed a Paris taxi, and ordered the driver to take him to Nice, on the French Riviera, more than 400 miles away.
Soutine once horrified his neighbours by keeping an animal carcass in his studio so that he could paint it (Carcass of Beef). The stench drove them to send for the police, whom Soutine promptly lectured on the relative importance of art over hygiene. There's a story that Marc Chagall saw the blood from the carcass leak out onto the corridor outside Soutine's room, and rushed out screaming, 'Someone has killed Soutine.'[4] Soutine painted 10 works in this series, which have since become his most well-known. His carcass paintings were inspired by Rembrandt's still life of the same subject, which he discovered while studying the Old Masters in the Louvre. Soutine produced the majority of his works from 1920 to 1929. From 1930 to 1935, the interior designer Madeleine Castaing and her husband welcomed him to their summer home, the mansion of Lèves, becoming his patrons, so that Soutine could hold his first exhibition in Chicago in 1935. He seldom showed his works, but he did take part in the important exhibition The Origins and Development of International Independent Art held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in 1937 in Paris, where he was at last hailed as a great painter. Soon afterwards France was invaded by German troops. As a Jew, Soutine had to escape from the French capital and hide in order to avoid arrest by the Gestapo. He moved from one place to another and was sometimes forced to seek shelter in forests, sleeping outdoors. Suffering from a stomach ulcer and bleeding badly, he left a safe hiding place for Paris in order to undergo emergency surgery, which failed to save his life. On August 9, 1943, Chaim Soutine died of a perforated ulcer. He was interred in Cimetière du Montparnasse, Paris. wp

TWORKOV, JACK (1900–1982), U.S. educator, printmaker, painter. Tworkov was born in Biala, Poland and immigrated to the U.S. in 1913. He studied at Columbia University, the National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League. Tworkov worked as an artist for the Works Project Administration's Federal Art Project in 1935, where he met Willem de Kooning. Both men emerged as forces in the Abstract Expressionist movement. Tworkov was also one of the founders of The Club, a loose New York association of Abstract Expressionists which met to discuss matters relating to art making. Like many other Abstract Expressionists, Tworkov's early work consisted of figures and still-lifes. He also rendered images in a cubist style before adopting the visual aspects of Abstract Expressionism. As to be expected, his early work shared many stylistic characteristics with that of de Kooning. As Tworkov gained eminence along with his colleagues in the New York School representational subject matter became subsumed in abundantly textured long, dashing, diagonal brush strokes, as in his painting Blue Note from 1959. Among other influences, Tworkov also turned to the art of the marginalized Expressionist painter Chaim Soutine as a source of inspiration; in fact, Tworkov wrote an article on Soutine during the latter's 1950 show at MOMA. Tworkov achieved the illusion of vibrating and multiple fields or screens of color from a cool, restricted palette and subtle nuances of tone. Likely influenced by the Minimalists, Tworkov integrated grids and other ordering systems into his images from the 1960s onward, such as Shield (1961) and Variables II (1964–65). One of his major series of paintings, House of the Sun, refers to Ulysses, whose epic adventures suggested a variety of themes to the artist. Tworkov taught at numerous institutions: the American University, Black Mountain College (other luminaries of this period such as John Cage, Franz Kline, and Lyonel Feininger also taught here during the 1940s), Queens College, the Pratt Institute, and Yale University, where he functioned as chairman of the art department. He was a recipient of a Corcoran Gold Medal in 1963. Tworkov's art has been exhibited at numerous major museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Pennsylvania Academy, and the Whitney Museum, among other venues. His work is in the collections of the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art.
