Chaim Soutine: Flesh opens today at the Jewish Museum, featuring 32 paintings by the Expressionist known for his gestural and densely painted canvases. In the Paris of the 1920s, Soutine was a double outsider—an immigrant Jew and a modernist. Guided by his expressive artistic instincts, he both embraced the traditional genre of still life and exploded it. His remarkable still life depictions of hanging fowl, beef carcasses, and rayfish, now considered among his greatest artistic achievements. 

“They say Courbet could give in his nudes all the character of Paris. I want to show all that is Paris in the carcass of an ox."—Chaim Soutine
