Chaim Soutine was a Russian-French Expressionist painter known for turbulent, emotionally intense works. Part of the School of Paris, he created visceral paintings of figures and still lifes with thick paint and distorted forms.

Soutine used aggressive brushwork, thick impasto, and distorted forms to convey emotional intensity. His paintings reject academic polish for raw expression, with writhing brushstrokes and bold colors that influenced Abstract Expressionists like de Kooning.

Soutine distorted figures to express inner psychological states rather than external appearance. His approach emphasized feeling over likeness, using formal distortion to convey the emotional truth of his subjects through paint itself.
