The youthful Soutine seems to step right out of an Isaac Bashevis Singer story.
But, as the art historian Remy Golan notes in a catalog essay for the current show, "after having provided hospitality to Soutine and thousands of Jewish immigrants like him for three decades, the French essentially abandoned them to their own fate during the years of German occupation."
The 56 paintings in the show are hung in three sections, each corresponding to one of the three ways critics have viewed Soutine: Soutine as an untutored "primitive" painter, which is how he was seen in the 1920s; Soutine as a master and the last great hope for traditional painting in France--his reputation in the 1930s; and Soutine as a prophet of Abstract Expressionism, which is what critics thought in the 1940s, when they "rediscovered" him.
