Chaim Soutine

[LCR]

I wanted to check about Soutine, looked at the message number 56, which itself is the same text and translation: in October 1942 for information transmitted to the Prefect of Police of Paris, Soutine had a regularly renewable residence permits. Nationality Russia (he had not even received the Nansen passport, providing the status of stateless!).

You certainly know what it means: Soutine never been a citizen of France.

So some reason to believe his Russian really are.

Well, what possessions from Soutine could stay in Russia? And what hope, what?

A lot of Russian had Nansen passport and citizenship have not changed.

And what if the identity cards they lived? Passports RI?
Nansen passport ( "Nansen passport"), an international document, which certifies the identity of the owner, and first began to be issued by the League of Nations to stateless refugees. Initially, he gave the Russians and subsequently to other refugees, who could not get a regular passport.

because we have a democracy (?) I would say that I do not understand expressed enthusiasm. Yes, a fine artist, a powerful, but not a genius. And put it on a shelf with Van Gogh or even higher, as proposed? motives such statements are outside of my understanding ...
Suffice it to take well, at least those of Van Gogh's Irises, which in the album at LCR, and put the most powerful painting Soutine, so that everything instantly fell into place. With color, with shadows, with the composition, well with all ...
And even as the opposition makes a classic blue-yellow-Soutine and he is all too often, and Van Gogh - a Soutine a simple head-on, but at the Van Gogh-fireworks to mere mortals.

Well, if opportunities allow, then of course, take place on one shelf of their live work . "A comparison of reproductions is useless, do something and know - from personal experience, described earlier in the Forum < ! - ~ 1 ~-->
Genius, no doubt.

Their genre can not even compare. We Soutine most powerful thing - this mascara. What works of Van Gogh to compare them?\r\n\r\nPardon me for the retreat: in the Tretyakov Gallery on the Crimean hangs a small work of Tatlin - "A piece of meat." But the tremendous strength - she is.

\r\n\r\nThe main thing is to have "brown" marked with a passport.

She read a monograph of Michael Herman, a beautiful job, with great respect for the man and with admiration for the genius.

A few snippets:
"Soutine remained uncomplicated, no trend, trend, group, or the more fashionable. He was not is social, but not in the least was that the academic gloss, which is increasingly apparent even in the most radical artists."
"But the most surprising thing is that he is totally alien to any influence. With the exception of genetically close to the subconscious Expressionists and the distant echo kolloristicheskih fauvists discoveries, there is nothing but himself. It is sealed, it is open only to classical art and life itself. "
"At the same time, being outside, as one would say now, main-stream'a, it is becoming a bigger success, the glory of it written, it is spotted (and in Europe, and eventually the ocean), his paintings were bought, bought, even when in the late 1920's in France, an era of grave economic depression, "Works Soutine at the time cost 100 000 francs, despite the fact that Picasso only 20 000. Picasso attended the funeral of Soutine. And then lived another 40 years to earn the title of the most significant artists of the XX century.

In a large shop window, taking it almost all. hung a still life "Meat carcass. I looked and was stunned - so it was a real force for good color. I asked: "Who is it?" And long-haired, with some even irritation, they say, oazve not know, this is Soutine. And once stood, as it turned out, collector confessed: "I'm really going to sell my Soutine. What a fool. He must be buying for the Louvre"
