This book presents the first scholarly account of the life and artistic legacy of the influential École de Paris painter, Chaïm Soutine (1893-1943). In addition to presenting new archival and fieldwork findings, the book interrogates and decisively dispels many of the persistent, popular but problematic biographical myths that have dogged the artist and limited interpretation of his works.
The book ultimately reframes Soutine as an educated, intelligent and sensitive man, a kind friend and influential artist, whose paintings rightly stand amongst the greatest artworks of the twentieth century.
