Chaïm Soutine (1893-1943)

Whirlwind forces blowing over modern painting shot this painting by Chaïm Soutine over the million mark. Bram Van Velde (1895-1981) was also wafted aloft on the wings of success, and set a world record.

A long stay in the South of France inspired the painter of the Bohemian life in some powerful landscapes. One of them competed here with a truly royal cup.

Coming from the Bossuat collection, this painting was produced in around 1922 by Chaïm Soutine in the South of France. An opportunity for the painter to express his torment through nature.

Collectors are sure to take the bait for François-Xavier Lalanne, Chaïm Soutine and Bram Van Velde.

Arbre avant l'Orage, auctioned by Christophe Joron Derem, was a big hit on the cover of La Gazette 43. Bidders battled up to €1,157,000 to place the winning bid for this swirling painting by Chaïm Soutine, which is as much a landscape as much as a state of mind.

Coinciding with the Musée de l’Orangerie’s exhibition exploring a dialogue between Willem de Kooning and Chaïm Soutine, the Parisian auction house Tajan has sold one of the former’s works, Untitled (Man and Woman), for €5.6M. Tajan’s evening sale of modern and contemporary art sold a total of 33 lots for €6.7M.

The French Ministry of Culture has chosen Bernardi to be director of the museum, located in Paris’ Tuilleries gardens. Having overseen modern art collections at the Centre National des Arts Plastiques and the Musée d’Orsay, she also organized the Orangerie’s recent exhibition on Chaïm Soutine and Willem de Kooning.

Trees, a full-fledged theme in Soutine’s work, lend themselves to a veritable demonstration of painting. Trees in the Wind, also called Before the Storm, is a personal interpretation of this landscape classic.

A masterpiece by Gen Paul is eagerly awaited at Saint-Brieuc: a 1928 painting from the finest Expressionist period of this gifted but little-known artist.

On long-term loan to the Princeton University Art Museum, the Henry and Rose Pearlman Collection encapsulates the enduring legacy of a collector fascinated with the experience of art.
