Chaïm Soutine. Against the Tide
The exhibition is dedicated to the outstanding work of Chaïm Soutine (1893–1943). His expressive works show shaky landscapes, slaughtered animals and people on the lowest rungs of society who were his models: Pages, chambermaids, cooks, altar boys.
His paintings focus on the existential and vulnerable dimension of existence and are, at the same time, pure artistic experiments. The monographic exhibition concentrates on the artist’s early masterpieces and focuses on the series that he made between 1919 and 1925.
Curator: Nina Zimmer
Cooperation: The exhibition is a collaboration between the Kunstmuseum Bern, K20, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek/Copenhagen.
