About the Item

About the Publication:
Soutine, I, Collection Pierre Levy, published in 1966 by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, is the first album in the important series devoted to the Pierre Levy collection, one of the most significant private collections of twentieth century French painting. Conceived as a scholarly and visual record, the album was designed to present key works by Chaim Soutine in lithographic form at a time when renewed international interest in the artist was expanding. Created in collaboration with Mourlot Freres, the foremost lithographic atelier in France, the publication reflects the printers commitment to translating Soutines canvases into richly tonal lithographs that preserve the emotional intensity and structural drama of the originals. Issued in a single edition on Arches velin, the album stands as an essential document of postwar art publishing, illuminating the historical partnership between artist, collector, and master printer, and contributing to the larger historiography of modern French Expressionism and museum quality print albums of the mid twentieth century.
About the Artist:
Chaim Soutine (1893–1943) was a Belarus born French Expressionist painter whose explosive brushwork, emotionally charged distortions, and uncompromising commitment to depicting the psychological intensity of human experience have secured his place as one of the most vital and transformative figures in twentieth century art, creating his legacy within the same revolutionary modernist environment defined by Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray; after leaving his impoverished childhood in Smilavichy and arriving in Paris in 1913, Soutine immersed himself in the School of Paris circle at La Ruche—an incubator of international avant garde talent—where he developed formative friendships with Amedeo Modigliani, Marc Chagall, Jules Pascin, and other pioneering artists whose daring approaches inspired him to push color, gesture, and form into new emotional territories. His portraits of cooks, choirboys, servants, and village residents; his tempestuous landscapes of Cagnes, Chartres, and Ceret; and his deeply visceral still lifes—most famously his monumental depictions of slaughtered carcasses—reveal a singular ability to transform ordinary subjects into raw, pulsing, almost metaphysical dramas, building on the influence of Rembrandt, Goya, Velazquez, and El Greco while departing radically from academic restraint. His paintings vibrate with psychological tension, their twisted perspectives, molten colors, and trembling outlines capturing an inner world marked by anxiety, longing, resilience, and profound empathy. Soutines originality profoundly shaped the evolution of modern painting: Francis Bacon cited him as one of his greatest influences, Willem de Kooning and the Abstract Expressionists admired his gestural ferocity, and later artists—including Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff, Lucian Freud, Jenny Saville, and Adrian Ghenie—have continued to look to him as a benchmark for emotional authenticity and painterly power. His global reputation surged in the 1920s when American collector Albert C. Barnes purchased more than fifty works, bringing Soutine financial stability and international recognition, and his paintings are now held in the worlds leading museums and elite private collections. His market reflects this enduring prestige, with his highest auction record achieved by Le Boeuf Ecorche (1925), which sold for 28.2 million USD at Christies New York on May 15, 2018.
