    CHAÏM SOUTINE (SMILAVITCHY, 1883 - PARIS, 1943) Paysage aux arbres vers 1920 Huile sur panneau 33 × 25 cm Signé en bas à droite Certificats Esti Dunow, New York, 15 mars 2025. Incluse dans la troisième édition du catalogue raisonné de Chaïm Soutine Provenance : Importante collection privée espagnole, précédemment acquise en France. Réalisée au début des années 1920, à un moment charnière de la carrière de l’artiste, cette œuvre appartient à la période où Soutine renouvelle profondément la peinture de paysage. Entre Paris et le Sud de la France, il développe alors une vision radicalement personnelle de la nature, libérée de toute recherche décorative, où chaque forme devient vecteur d’émotion. Ici, l’arbre motif central et récurrent dans son œuvre ne se contente pas de structurer la composition : il incarne la tension même du tableau. Le tronc, solide mais instable, semble soumis à une force invisible ; le feuillage, emporté par le vent, envahit l’espace pictural jusqu’à presque effacer le ciel, réduit à une mince respiration lumineuse. Les maisons, reléguées à l’arrière-plan, apparaissent comme absorbées par cette poussée organique, fragiles face à la puissance de la nature. Ce que Soutine peint, ce n’est pas un lieu précis, mais une sensation. La nature devient vivante, presque inquiétante, animée d’un mouvement intérieur que la touche nerveuse et tourmentée de l’artiste rend palpable. La matière picturale, épaisse, vibrante, semble travailler la surface comme un corps sous tension. La palette chaude et terrienne, dominée par des verts profonds, des ocres et des bruns incandescents, renforce cette impression de vitalité brute. Chaque coup de pinceau paraît chargé d’une urgence expressive, traduisant le rapport viscéral que Soutine entretient avec la peinture, mais aussi avec le monde qui l’entoure. Cette œuvre s’inscrit pleinement dans la lignée des grands paysages expressionnistes de l’artiste aux côtés de Les Maisons, Arbre couché, Le Village ou Paysage où la nature cesse d’être un décor pour devenir le véritable sujet, parfois même le protagoniste tragique de la scène. Plus qu’un paysage, ce tableau est une expérience. Une œuvre qui ne se livre pas immédiatement, mais qui, une fois comprise, ne lâche plus le regard. Elle impose sa présence, habite l’espace, et révèle peu à peu ce que Soutine cherchait : non pas représenter le monde, mais en faire ressentir la tension, la violence et la beauté intérieure. C’est précisément cette intensité, rare et profondément sincère, qui confère à cette peinture toute sa force, et qui explique pourquoi, aujourd’hui encore, l’œuvre de Soutine continue de bouleverser autant qu’elle fascine.

    PAYSAGE AUX ARBRES (LANDSCAPE) Öl auf Holzplatte. 33 x 25 cm. Rechts unten signiert. Beigegeben ein Gutachten von Esti Dunow von Chaïm Soutine Catalogue Raisonné Ars Longa LLC, New York, 02. Juni 2025, dass es sich bei dem vorliegenden Werk um eine Arbeit von Chaïm Soutine handelt, in Kopie. Vor bergiger Landschaft an einem rechts aufsteigenden Hang zwei stehende Bäume, einer davon mit bereits herbstlich verfärbten gelb-bräunlichen Blättern. Der Baum, ein zentrales und wiederkehrendes Motiv im Werk des Künstlers, verkörpert die Spannung des Bildes selbst. Das Laub der Bäume als auch die Berge im Hintergrund reduzieren den hellblauen Himmel fast bis auf einen kleinen Lichtstreifen. Die wenigen Häuser mit ihren roten Dächern wirken angesichts der Kraft der Natur zerbrechlich. Soutine malt keinen bestimmten Ort, sondern drückt eher ein Gefühl aus. Die Natur wird lebendig, fast beunruhigend, nicht zuletzt durch den raschen Pinselstrich des Künstlers. Die warme, erdige Farbpalette, dominiert von tiefen Grüntönen, Ocker- und Brauntönen, verstärkt den Eindruck von Energie und Leben. Anmerkung: Der Künstler war ein französischer Maler belarussisch-jüdischer Herkunft. Einige Monate besuchte Soutine die Staatliche Hochschule der Schönen Künste Paris. Sie wurde von Fernand Cormon geleitet, der in den 1880er-Jahren van Gogh und Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec unterrichtet hatte. 1919 besuchte er Céret, dort entstanden bis 1922 etwa 200 Bilder, hauptsächlich Landschaften. (14707312) Chaïm Soutine, 1894 – 1943 Paris PAYSAGE AUX ARBRES (LANDSCAPE) Oil on panel. 33 x 25 cm. Signed lower right. Accompanied by an expert's report by Esti Dunow from the Chaïm Soutine Catalogue Raisonne Ars Longa LLC, New York, dated 2 June 2025, confirming that the present work is authentic, in copy. Soutine does not paint a specific place but rather expresses a feeling. Nature comes alive, almost unsettlingly, not least through the artist's swift brushstrokes. The warm, earthy palette, dominated by deep greens, ochres, and browns, reinforces the impression of energy and life. (†)

    Oil on panel. Signed in the lower right corner. Dimensions: 33 x 25 cm; framed: 42 x 34 cm. We are grateful to Esti Dunow for her assistance in cataloging this work. Certificate of authenticity written by Esti Dunow, New York, March 15, 2025. The work will be included in the third edition of the catalogue raisonné of Chaïm Soutine, currently in preparation. In the opinion of expert Esti Dunow, the painting is an autograph work by Chaïm Soutine, probably executed in Paris in the early 1920s, during his stay in the South of France. During this period, Soutine developed a series of intensely expressive landscapes, such as Les Maisons, Paysage, Arbre couché, and Le Village, where nature becomes the protagonist through powerful energy and emotional brushstrokes. The theme of the tree, recurrent in Soutine's work, occupies a central place in this composition. In the foreground, a robust tree trunk and the movement of the foliage, stirred by the wind, dominate the scene, partially obscuring the houses glimpsed behind it and reducing the sky to a thin strip. The energetic brushstrokes and warm palette reinforce the sense of vitality and drama characteristic of the artist. Provenance: Spanish private collection, previously acquired in France, belonging to a significant private collection.

    CHAÏM SOUTINE

    Est: CHF50,000 - CHF70,000

    CHAÏM SOUTINE (Smilavichy 1893–1943 Paris) One incomparable gem is the small-format portrait of Chaim Soutine. Born the tenth of eleven children to a Jewish tailor in a small shtetl within what was then the Russian Empire – now Belarus – Soutine grew up in very poor and severe circumstances. In 1913, at the age of twenty, he fled this hostile environment to Paris, where he came into contact with the avant-garde at the École de Paris. The work shown here was created in the 1930s, when Soutine already enjoyed considerable public recognition. Still, he apparently never forgot entirely his origins, as the numerous portraits of simple servants and artisans, often of Eastern European background, attest. Painted with Soutine's characteristic expressive brushstrokes, the seated "garçon russe" fills the entire pictorial space. The impasto application of paint and the violent, impulsive style give the work a lively, almost vibrant texture and intensity. And yet, this small picture, painted on wood, exudes a sense of calm and intimacy. The dark red and brown tones contribute to this, as do the posture and expression of the seated boy, who is completely withdrawn. His gaze is also directed inward; yet his bright blue eyes are captivating—so captivating that you can't help but lose yourself in them. ------------------------------------------------- CHAÏM SOUTINE (Smilawitschy 1893–1943 Paris) Garçon russe. 1935–38. Öl auf Holz. Unten rechts signiert: Soutine. 36,8 × 18,7 cm. Gutachten: Esti Dunow, New York, 29.9.2025. Provenienz: - Galerie Le Niveau, Paris. - Schweizer Privatsammlung, am 15.5.1938 in obiger Galerie erworben und durch Erbschaft an die heutigen Besitzer. Wir danken Esti Dunow für die Bestätigung der Authentizität des Werks. Ein besonderes Juwel ist das kleinformatige Porträt von Chaïm Soutine. Geboren als zehntes von elf Kindern eines jüdischen Flickschneiders in einem kleinen Schtetl des damaligen Russischen Kaiserreichs (heute Belarus) wuchs Soutine unter sehr ärmlichen und strengen Bedingungen auf. Dieser kunstfeindlichen Umgebung entfloh er 1913 im Alter von zwanzig Jahren nach Paris, wo er mit der Avantgarde der École de Paris in Berührung kam. Das hier gezeigte Werk entstand in den 30er-Jahren, als Soutine bereits eine beachtliche öffentliche Anerkennung genoss. Trotzdem scheint er seine Herkunft nie ganz vergessen zu haben, wie die zahlreichen Porträts von einfachen Dienstboten und Handwerkern, oft mit osteuropäischem Hintergrund, bezeugen. Mit Soutines charakteristischen, expressiven Pinselstrichen gemalt, füllt der "Garçon russe" sitzend den gesamten Bildraum. Der pastose Farbauftrag und der heftige und impulsive Duktus verleihen dem Werk eine lebendige, beinahe vibrierende Textur und Intensität. Und dennoch geht von diesem kleinen auf Holz gemalten Bild eine Ruhe und Intimität aus. Die dunklen Rot- und Brauntöne sowie die Haltung und der Ausdruck des Jungen, der völlig in sich gekehrt dasitzt, tragen dazu bei. Auch sein Blick ist nach innen gerichtet – und doch fesseln die leuchtend blauen Augen, in denen man versinken mag.

Amsterdamsch Historisch Museum printed label with reference number, provenance (Regnault Collection), and other references to the painting; stamp Douane centrale exportation Paris; worn exhibition label in English; stamp Douane centrale exportation Paris on the canvas. Born in Smilovitchi, in the province of Minsk, Chaïm Soutine is one of the most prominent representatives of the School of Paris. Arriving in the city in 1912, he settled briefly at the artists' residence of La Ruche, in the Vaugirard district, and then at the Cité Falguière, both near Montparnasse. In the latter, he met Amedeo Modigliani through the sculptor Jacques Lipchitz. In the early 1920s, he traveled to the south of France, which inspired his tormented landscapes. Due to his exaggerated individualism, Soutine never officially adhered to any artistic movement, although for his passionate use of vivid colors he is considered one of the most notable representatives of Expressionism, developed according to a highly personal vision and pictorial technique. One of Soutine's hallmarks is his work in series. He alternately depicts gladioli, game, poultry, servants, and altar boys. His characters are melancholic, typified to the point of caricature, with deformed bodies and clothes featuring sharply contrasting colors. His still lifes favor dead animals or even skinned carcasses, following the example of Rembrandt. oil on canvas cm 65 x 51,5 - framed cm 82,5 x 69 1926-27 Thompson Collection Kunsthaus Zürich: Thompson Pittsburgh: aus einer amerikanischen Privatsammlung, exhibition catalog held in Zurich, Kunsthaus, October 15–November 27, 1960, no. 249; G.

From 1910 to 1913 he studied in Vilnius at the Vilna Academy of Fine Arts. He soon developed a highly personal vision and painting technique. One of a kind artwork.

Christie's, New York, sale of November 16, 1983, lot 406. Acquired directly from the above sale. The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Lot Essay Ms. Esti Dunow has confirmed the authenticity of the present lot, along with Maurice Tuchman in 2023, when the work was scheduled to be included in the forthcoming supplement to their Soutine Catalogue Raisonné. It is in no small part thanks to the excellent eye and unwavering patronage of Philadelphia’s own, Dr. Albert Barnes, that the young Chaim Soutine gained national recognition as a major modernist painter. It was Barnes who, upon visiting the penniless twenty-nine year old Parisian painter’s studio in 1922 was captivated by Soutine’s The Pastry Chef (Le Pâtissier, c. 1919) and purchased it for his eponymous museum, along with some fifty other paintings through Soutine’s dealer Paul Guillaume. Barnes described Le Pâtissier as “an incredible, captivating, tangible, colorful pastry chef, cursed with a huge, magnificent ear, unexpected but right: a masterpiece.” In addition to pastry chefs, Soutine focused on painting waiters, imbuing them with haunting, disquieting qualities. The artist’s connection to, and preoccupation with, food and animals, has been well documented, and Canard Pendu certainly fits in nicely with this important part of the artist’s œuvre. It has been suggested that Soutine’s paintings of animal carcasses served as a launching point for Francis Bacon and Damien Hirst, while Soutine himself is known to have been inspired by Rembrandt’s Slaughtered Ox (1655) in the Musée du Louvre. Animals (as food) took on a complex place in Soutine’s life: they served a role in Jewish ritual–for example, chickens were employed in a Jewish prayer ceremony as part of the last meal before the Yom Kippur fast, but food was also in very short supply for Soutine, and the impoverished artist frequently suffered from bouts of hunger and stomach ulcers (he passed away at the early age of 49 from a perforated ulcer). Soutine had childhood memories of animals being slaughtered, stating, “Once I saw the village butcher slice the neck of a goose [...] I wanted to cry out, but his joyful expression caught the sound in my throat, this cry, I always feel it here.” Animals (as food) were also an important subject matter for Soutine, as in the present work. Indeed, famed art critic Clement Greenberg said Soutine’s art was “more like life itself than visual art.” A well-known 1927 photograph of the artist clutching a cigarette while posing with a dead chicken that hangs before a broken brick wall in Western France proves to be quite telling. In addition to ducks, Soutine painted geese, chicken, rabbits, turkeys, pheasants, and beef. He purchased these animals from local slaughterhouses, painting them as they rotted in his studio. While the subsequent odor prompted neighbors to call the police, Soutine was supposedly able to persuade them to keep the rotting animals for the sake of his art so long as he treated the animals with formaldehyde. Not only was “Chaim Soutine: Flesh” a fitting title for a 2018 Soutine retrospective at the Jewish Museum, New York, but it is noteworthy that a section of that 31-painting show was devoted to strung up birds entitled Fowl. In the present work, Soutine successfully demonstrates his ability to capture a favored subject in an unadorned, expressive, and dynamic fashion.

Lot Essay Amid the threat of German invasion, Soutine departed Paris in 1918, just five years after relocating to the city from his native Belarus. He sought refuge in Vence, in Provence. Accompanied by friend and fellow painter, Amedeo Modigliani, Soutine spent three years traveling through the lush, sun- drenched region. His exploration of the landscape–and his synthesis of traditional themes grounded in avant-garde techniques–took root during this extended sojourn. Works like La Petite Fille dans la Verdure, executed c. 1919, appear to pulsate with frenetic energy. Soutine’s use of bold color and animated brushstrokes creates a sense of heightened emotion, transforming the mundane–here, a young girl within grove of trees–into a dramatic and charged experience. Eschewing literal translation for visceral intensity, Soutine infuses his compositions with a sense of inner psychological turmoil–perhaps relating to the aftermath of the war or his own mental state–and of existential angst, reflecting the tumultuous times in which he lived. The war-torn landscapes of Europe during World War I found representation in Soutine's output from this period, where nature itself seems to be in a state of upheaval. After returning to Paris in 1922, Soutine showed over 50 works–the majority painted while in Provence–in an exhibition organized by dealer, Paul Guillaume. Esteemed Philadelphia collector, Dr. Albert C. Barnes, acquired the group, which today forms the cornerstone of The Barnes Foundation’s Soutine Collection. A number of these paintings–Landscape with Houses (c. 1919), Landscape with House and Tree (c. 1920-21), and Landscape with White Building (c. 1920-21)–bear affinity to the present lot. Together, Soutine offers a vision of landscape, architecture and, occasionally, figures in a way that is both dynamic and distorted–expressive and intimately linked to the artist's own lived experience. Soutine’s Provençal landscapes also demonstrate a profound engagement with the materiality of paint. Thick impasto, expressive brushwork, and a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow distinguish his canvases. This tactile quality not only adds depth to the composition but serves as a metaphor for the artist’s emotional investment in his subject matter. There’s something visceral, something raw, to these works; to Karel Appel, another of Sidney Rothberg’s favorite artists, “Soutine experienced the landscape like an animal.” By marrying avant-garde techniques with a deep emotional resonance, Soutine created a body of work that not only captures the spirit of the times but also challenges the traditional boundaries of landscape painting.
