The painting titled Chicken Hanging in Front of a Brick Wall emerged from the restless hand of Chaim Soutine. Created about 1924, the work captures a singular, heavy moment of existence. It is a study of form and mortality, rendered in oil on canvas with a weight that feels almost physical.
In the turbulent landscape of early 20th-century modernism, few voices resonate with as much raw, visceral energy as that of Chaim Soutine. His 1917 masterpiece, Suburban Landscape with Red Houses, serves as a breathtaking window into the heart of Expressionism. This is not merely a depiction of a quiet neighborhood; it is an emotional upheaval captured on canvas. The painting invites the viewer into a world where the boundaries between…
A woman sits, draped in a heavy shade of red. The color is thick, a visceral weight of pigment that seems to pulse against the surface. She is seated upon a chair, her hands resting upon its back, while a smaller chair sits in the distance, a silent companion in the room. A handbag lies near her feet, a solitary object in a space defined by shadow. Her face remains…
In this intimate work, titled Portrait of a Child, the artist Chaim Soutine turns his gaze toward the quiet vulnerability of youth. Created about 1937, the painting presents a portrait of a young child, capturing a moment of profound stillness. There is a certain weight to the subject's presence, a sense of being caught in a private moment of thought.
A woman sits draped in red. The color is heavy, a thick weight of pigment that seems to pulse against the paper. She turns her head away, her gaze lost to something unseen. A hat, dark and perhaps mystical, rests upon her hair. She is a solitary anchor in a shifting space. Around her, the edges of the world dissolve into shadows and half-formed shapes.
The composition is dominated by a large, central mass of meat that occupies most of the frame. To the left, a severed animal head is positioned within the arrangement. The color palette relies on highly saturated, warm tones, specifically crimson, vermilion, and ochre, which contrast against dark, murky browns and blacks in the background. Thick, gestural lines create a sense of movement across the surface. The shapes are organic and…
The Gipsy by Chaim Soutine, created about 1926, is a centered, bust-length portrait of a single figure. The subject possesses dark hair and directs the gaze slightly off-center rather than toward the viewer. This figure is positioned against a dark, indistinct background that lacks measurable depth, which focuses the attention entirely on the person. A saturated red scarf is wrapped around the neck, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding…
Two children navigate a dirt path through an open field, their figures positioned closely as they walk under a heavy, cloud-scattered sky. The scene captures a moment of transition, where the aftermath of a storm leaves a sense of stillness in the air. In the distance, a solitary figure moves away from the pair, adding a layer of quiet isolation to the natural setting. The composition focuses on the relationship…

![Farm Girl [La Fille de Ferme] (1919) by Chaim Soutine](/media/artworks/images-thumb/f7/ec/f7ec22076278b277518a6b65501fcf55.jpg)
白ロシア共和国（現ベラルーシ共和国）ミンスク近郊の寒村に生まれたスーチンがパリに出たのは19歳の時だった。貧困と、作品に対する無理解に苦しみながら、一人異国の地で模索する、そんな彼の才能をいち早く見い出したのがモディリアーニであった。教養もなければ、礼儀も知らず、野生児そのままといったスーチンに、モディリアーニはナイフやフォークの使い方を教え、制作の助言をし、しばしば絶望感にさいなまれる彼を励ました。しかし、彼は生涯野生児のままであった。30歳目前の若さでアメリカ人のコレクターに見い出され、作品が売れ、流行の背広に身を包むようになっても、彼の孤独と不安は、ついにいやされることはなかった。 スーチンの作品に一貫して表現されているのは、彼の孤独と不安の叫びである。その絵画世界では、あらゆるものがゆがみ、ねじまげられ、苦し気にのたうっているが、それはまさしくスーチン自身の内面の姿にほかならない。 《農家の娘》でも筆致の速さは目立つものの、スーチン特有のうねり、ゆがみの表現は比較的少なく、モデルの素朴な印象が引き立つように色彩は抑えられている。画家の描く対象との向き合い方を物語る一枚である。（出典: 名古屋市美術館展示解説カード）
