The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), one of the premier art museums in the United States, is home to more than 60,000 works that comprise a multicultural survey of human creativity from ancient times through the 21st century. From the first van Gogh painting to enter a U.S. museum (Self-Portrait, 1887), to Diego Rivera's world-renowned Detroit Industry murals (1932–33), the DIA's collection is known for its quality, range, and depth. The DIA’s mission is to create opportunities for all visitors to find personal meaning in art.

Detroit Institute of Arts, art museum in Detroit, Michigan, U.S., noted for its collection of American paintings from the 19th century and its Dutch, Flemish, and Italian paintings from the Renaissance through the Baroque period. It is also known for a large collection of arts of antiquity and of the Islamic world, based on works acquired by pharmaceutical magnate Frederick Stearns. The Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and ancient Persian holdings have been augmented by artifacts from western Europe, Mesopotamia, and ancient Arabia. The museum also houses traditional Asian, African, Oceanian, and Native American works and contemporary art from around the world.
The museum was founded in 1885 by a group of Detroit citizens. It was given to the city in 1919 and moved into its present Neoclassical-style structure in 1927. It was enlarged by additions completed in 1966 and 1971. The museum’s central courtyard is decorated with a series of 27 murals by the Mexican painter Diego Rivera that depict the automobile industry. In 2001 the museum created a new department, the General Motors Center for African American Art, and in 2010 it opened a gallery dedicated to Islamic art.

Inspired by J. S. Chardin’s 1725–26 still life of a stingray at the Musée du Louvre, Chaim Soutine reinterpreted the theme in a turbulent, luminescent manner. Every line and form undulates as if propelled by some unseen force. Tied up on two points, as if being tortured or crucified, the stingray assumes an expression of almost human anguish, transforming it into a powerful metaphor for suffering, perhaps referring to Soutine’s own life as a poor Jewish artist who emigrated from Belarus to Paris in 1913.

Soutine produced this portrait of the painter Émile Lejeune (1885-1964) in 1922, shortly before his subject moved to
Provence. Lejeune's Montparnasse studio at 6 rue Huyghens was a venue for major artistic events, including an exhibition of African art organised by Paul Guillaume and poetry readings by Apollinaire and Cocteau. The deformed face, and notably the disproportiona-tely elongated neck and sketchy features, is characteristic of Soutine's tortured style, which was described by the critic Waldemar George as "dramatic violence".

In the mid-1920s, Chaim Soutine produced a group of still-life paintings featuring hanging fowl and freshly butchered sides of meat, subjects represented in European art for centuries. Rather than depict the animals as lifeless and limp, he often portrayed them as tragic figures, as in the painting here. The animated quality of the thick, swirling paint suggests the bird is writhing in its final moments. These visceral still lifes were inspired by Soutine’s study of 17th-century Dutch market scenes, yet were painted after carcasses he arranged in his studio.

This portrait was probably painted in Cagnes, in the south of France, as were many other portraits of women rendered in the same curvilinear brushwork. The title of the painting does not relate to any known anecdote, and the model has not been identified. The vertical format perfectly encloses this thin figure with her elongated face, standing out from a green and brown background. Soutine’s handling of the white dress recalls the technique he used for the tunics of his little pastry cooks: the white is spattered with long brushstrokes of green, blue and yellow, making the folds of the garment appear to move, and rendering it almost iridescent. The flesh is depicted with long strokes of colour, ranging from pink to red, that highlight the structure of her hands and certain areas of her face, in a very striking way. Chaïm Soutine is using this portrait of the young woman to experiment with a style of painting that recomposes the real world through his own emotions, and reveals a stunning Expressionist boldness.

Exhibition: William H. Johnson: Full Circle
Feb 10, 2018 — Jun 10, 2018
One of the most important African-American artists of his time, William H. Johnson (1901-1970) was born in Florence, South Carolina. As a youngster, Johnson copied comics from the local newspaper. He also worked to help support himself and his family. By the age of seventeen, he had saved enough to go to New York. He moved to Harlem, where he worked as a hotel porter, cook, and stevedore while studying at the National Academy of Design with Impressionist Charles Hawthorne. Hawthorne financed Johnson’s first trip abroad, and, in 1926, Johnson settled in Paris, where he experimented with French Post-Impressionist styles, using bright colors and deliberate brushstrokes. These early European works highlighted his eager assimilation of the styles of such artists as Vincent van Gogh and Chaim Soutine. While working in southern France, Johnson met Holcha Krake, a Danish artist. They married in 1930 and made their home in Kerteminde, Denmark, a fishing village that is the subject of much of Johnson’s work of the period. In 1935 the couple traveled to Norway where they painted, exhibited, and met the modern expressionist master Edvard Munch, whom Johnson greatly admired.
In 1994, Steve Turner, gallerist and art historian, retraced Johnson’s European sojourn in search of the artist’s collectors and paintings. Turner found that the artist enjoyed a highly respected career. He received extensive press coverage during the 1930s and boasted a following of collectors who avidly acquired his work. Turner subsequently mounted an exhibition titled William H. Johnson: Truth Be Told, which traveled to four museums in 1998-1999 and shed new light on Johnson’s life and career.
This installation features twenty-six of the works collected by Turner in Scandinavia and brings the art of William H. Johnson full circle, from his native South Carolina to international centers of modernism—Paris, Oslo, and New York—and back to the state of his birth, where his standing as a significant painter is more fully realized today.

Litvakų (Lietuvos žydų) dailininkai Paryžiuje / Litvak (Lithuanian Jewish) Artists in Paris | May 25th - Oct. 1st 2023 01/20
Haskalah (enlightenment in Hebrew) - a movement proclaiming that scientific knowledge and progress were not in opposition to the laws of the Torah and therefore did not endanger issues of faith - emerged in Germany in the middle of the 18th century. This encouraged closed Jewish communities to become more integrated into secular surroundings. One century later, the movement reached Eastern Europe and made an impact on the calmly proceeding life in the shtetls of Lita. Youths from religious Jewish families departed to pursue studies at secular science and art institutions.
Litvak artists emigrated to Paris in several waves. The first came at the end of the 19th century; sculptor Mark Antokolsky opened an art studio in Paris which attracted pupils including Ilya Ginzburg, Naum Aronson, Boris Schatz and others. The second and largest wave of emigrants was inspired by Jacques Lipchitz, who arrived in Paris in 1909, and by Marc Chagall, who arrived in 1911. Thanks to them, word spread at the Vilnius School of Drawing about
"artistic" Paris and its pupils, including Chaim Soutine, Pinchus Krémègne, Michel Kikoïne, Emmanuel Mané-Katz, and others who increased the number of Litvak artists. After the end of World War I, Max Band, Jacob Messenblum (Jacques Missene) and Arbit Blatas departed the newly independent Lithuania and joined the Litvak artists' communities in Paris, while Rafael Chwoles succeeded in emigrating from Soviet Lithuania.
This exhibition presents 21 artists and displays more than 130 works of art narrating the migration of Litvak artists to Paris, reflecting their goals, achievements, longing for their Homeland and a continuity of traditions.

Permeated by anguished visions of humanity, Francis Bacon’s paintings embody the existential ethos of the postwar era. In his powerful, nihilistic works, tormented and deformed figures become players in dark, unresolved dramas. Bacon often referred in his paintings to the history of art, interpreting borrowed images through his own bleak mentality. Figure with Meat is part of a now-famous series he devoted to Diego Velázquez’s Portrait of Pope Innocent X (c. 1650; Galleria Doria-Pamphilj, Rome). Here he transformed the Spanish Baroque artist’s iconic portrayal of papal authority into a nightmarish image, in which the blurred figure of the pope, seen as if through a veil, seems trapped in a glass-box torture chamber, his mouth open in a silent scream. Instead of the noble drapery that frames Velázquez’s pope, Bacon is flanked by two sides of beef, quoting the work of seventeenth-century Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn and twentieth-century Russian artist Chaim Soutine, both of whom painted brutal and haunting images of raw meat. Framed by the carcass, Bacon’s pope can be seen alternately as a depraved butcher, or as much a victim as the slaughtered animal hanging behind him.
