Gallery Talk: Chaïm Soutine's "Flayed Rabbit"
Each month, members of the Barnes Foundation's Adult Education team present their ongoing research on the collection to members. These talks are a great way to learn more about your favorite artists in the collection.
In the early 1920s Albert Barnes purchased 52 paintings by Chaïm Soutine from the gallerists Léopold Zborowski and Paul Guillaume. Soutine employed the plastic means—color, light, line, and space—to create unique modernist compositions of savage beauty informed by earlier artists like Jean Siméon Chardin and Frans Hals. Join instructor Michael Williamson for an exploration of Soutine’s works in the collection and learn about the artist’s inventive techniques that led the way for a future generation of abstract expressionists like Willem de Kooning.
This talk will take place on-site in Room 5 of the collection galleries.
